Family Brat camp from twentytwenty production has just finished a series, where the parents went along with their child.
There really cannot be an accurate TV documentary on programs unless the cameras are hidden. What 20/20 showed was what we deal with on fornits.
It worked good for two of the four.
It might have worked for three out of the four, but the mom could not face reality and discomfort in the desert, so she took the family out even when her boy seemed to improved.
Wow. The cameras are there, the staff are on their best behaviour, and the spoiled mommy decides it's too much for her. JEE SUS. Somebody pack the bitch off to TB.
She just would not solve the problem.
I can understand why some parents outsource the whole thing to a strange company. It is hard to work with one self and those issues we all have. Yes, we have them all because we are human beings.
We can also change them if we face the fact that there could be a problem.
So my input is: Tell them that you as a parent would send the entire family out starving in the desert if they don't behaive. Just put the housekey in a envelope in front of them to tell them that an escort firm could come at some point and escort the entire family away in handcuffs.
How do you think you relationship with your parents would have been, if they had lied next to you in OP, a stone circle or in a dog cage? Would they by their own torment show you that they cared for you?
Well. My parents were ignorant. Otherwise they would be going to a nursing home a-la Abu Ghraibe.
Do I think it would have changed thier opinion if they had experienced what I had?
You have no idea how many times i have wished for just that -- not to hurt them, but to make them understand my pain and why i can't "just get over it".
Torment never shows care. I have never understood "tough love". Such bullshit. You treat people like dirt and it is somehow
"magically" supposed to make them better people. FUCK NO. It teaches you how to isolate, how to shut off, how to harden your heart to the suffering of others while you protect yourself from the constant bombardment of your psyche with endless mind games. Eventually they break you and convince you that
who you are is a lie, and they will sell you the truth. That moment, you die inside, and then your former self starts to rot as you forget who you were. Eventually, if you don't snap out of it, you end up dishing out the "emotional growth" as a parent, ed-con, or program staff.
It's the same thinking behind the person who says "my father beats me and i'm a stronger person for it, he cared about me". And what do you think that person does to
his child.
Where is the logic here.
The common fucking sense.
Hate begets what? HATE!!!
