Typical Program Parent ??

From the original post the mother describes her son as a boy "who was headed for either the morgue or the Juvenile Justice System." What a fancy way of saying deadorinjail!

Yes, it was.
It was amazing.
I wish I knew how she is doing and what she is up to these days.
And Narvin was arrested. How it turned out in the end, I don't know. I guess they either dropped the chanrges or pled him out.
Last I heard it was still an open case, but that has been long ago now - and as he is re-opening Dundee it appears they came to some kind of understanding.

I wonder how long it takes most parents, after their child returns home 20-40 pounds heavier (at least at Cross Creek we did) and beaming with the "I'm a good kid now!" gloss.... what's the "waiting period" before reality sets in for parent and child?
Did anyone here have a parent who bought into the program-jargon and marketing extravaganzas, and still just doesn't 'see what the problem was'?

It's been over 10 years since I left CCM, and my mother is still in denial. She refuses to listen to me, period, even though I continue to say that I have absolutely no reason to lie now. Even the non-refutable points, like the fact that we were denied unsupervised phone calls and denied contact for months, just don't bother her at all. I wasn't on drugs and had no real problems other than "disrespect to parents", so it wasn't like I really needed treatment.
It must suck to realize you spent a fortune on a steaming pile of bullshit. Or a half-baked pizza. :)
