hey,
Robert Louis Stevenson reference. Original. You are a gifted writer, seriously, Joe may be right about you though. Have you ever concidered that? Just because you hear something about yourself from a bi-polar meglomaniac does not mean it is not true.

Thoughtful comment and absolutely true. Joe clearly has insight on some issues, and his snapshot judgments about me were scoured for truth, no doubt- and I've continued to grow, and change, since writing this piece. No problem with head on challenges! In my judgment, however, there is absolutely no excuse for bad behavior, or throwing people out of a program they've paid for in advance- not even being right.

Gary, I just want to say how much I appreciate your having the independent spirit, not to mention the balls, for posting your story on ISAC as well as coming onto this site and posting your thoughts and commentary. I have read your posts in the past and have always enjoyed them. Thank you, from someone who sadly feels they must still stay anon...

Gary: I too deeply appreciate your willingness to share your observations about your Hyde experiences. I especially appreciate your willingness to post your "story" on the ISAC website. This is likely to be very helpful to lots of us, especially parents who are considering Hyde.
I am troubled by the comment that someone else posted here in response to your message: "Robert Louis Stevenson reference. Original. You are a gifted writer, seriously, Joe may be right about you though. Have you ever concidered that? Just because you hear something about yourself from a bi-polar meglomaniac does not mean it is not true."
The person who posted this certainly has a right to raise the issue about the possibilty that there's some "truth" embedded in Hyde administrators' feedback to you. However, I find the tone of this comment to be unnecessarily sanctimonious and provocative, qualities that I have found to be all too pervasive at Hyde. (That's a big reason we've decided to leave Hyde.)
I too, regrettably, need to remain anonymous at this point. Our family is thinking about the most appropriate next steps with regard to our extraordinarily negative Hyde experience.

I can't tell you how much it means to me that you folks took the time to read my story, and have responded with such kind words.
I hold no rancarous feelings towards anyone connected with Hyde, including that buffoon-ish, but somehow admirabl guy, Joe Gauld.
Funny, I called Mike Dawes- who I like so much and have enjoyed such a respectful relationship with- to wish him a happy holiday, and he could, it seemed to me, barely tolerate a cordial conversation. So much for truth before harmony! Mike, I love ya!
Our son, by the way, just completed his first semester at Hofstra with all A's and B's, although he still parties too much for my taste.
Tonight, his mom's out for dinner with her sis, and so he asked me for $10 for dinner, which I gave it to him- with the qualifier that he tell me I'm the best dad ever... fortunately, he gets my sense of humor. Wish Joe G. had been blessed with one!
peace,
G
