siamie,
Don't listen to people like that. No one has a right to tell you what YOU should feel about YOUR experience. Anyone who does just personifies everything that is wrong about Rebekah and the other facilities like it. Besides, telling us that we are "dwelling" on the past is just something that they say when they can't defend what actually went on there. Consider it a validation of your feelings about the place.
P.S. In case you were wondering, I went to Victory Christian Academy in Jay, Florida.
