Hey B,
so sorry I have not replied- your post was painful to read for me, just made me sad and even angry b/c I think you got a raw deal.
I know I asked you this in PM, but maybe it's good to get out in open b/c I think your expereince may be similar to many other girls. You went to MMS at 13 and many of the problems you began to experience at home came after MMS, but I wonder what issues did you feel you were able to deal with at MMS that helped you later on? Did you ever figure out where all your anger came from and how to deal? Also, were their any problems at all that existed at home that were addressed? Anything at all that made your parents take a second look at what they were doing to you? I mean, honeslty, what kind of awful thing is that to say to your own child- what you wrote above. That's so cruel. My mom was not quite as harsh, although she certainly has sad some equally almost unforgivably cruel things to me and, while at MMS, non of it was really put forth on the table. I had to move out shortly after I moved in with her as a result.
Part of what I see about MMS is that often parents seem to make little changes- like you pointed out to me, MMS was for you not for your parents, but upon returning home, was it not the same old grind that made it difficult for you to succeed in that environment? Community based therapy emphasize parent/family involvment, and recognize the difficulty of implementing real change in a childs life if parents don't concede to make adjustments in their own lives...seems that could have been a far more effective way to create a support network, or at least address that lack of it...
