I was a Rebekah Home for Girls in 1983. I was only there for about 6 months. It was hard being away from home, but it really helped me break away from some bad influences and also get a fresh start. I would love to find Tara Nugent from Louisiana. She was my best friend. The sad thing was...my mom came and got me early because she could not take the guilt of leaving me there. They did not tell me I was leaving. They moved me to a room close to the office a few weeks before and then on a Sunday morning they kept me back from church and my mom came. I was so happy, but I never got to say good-bye to my friends.
The discipline was harsh in comparison to the way kids are so undisciplined today! Although it was not perfect, I am thankful for the home and the change it made in my life. Bible Memo...I still know the chapters of Psalms and they have gotten me through tough times. I am teaching them to my girls now. My girls have a wonderful, Christian dad who loves, disciplines and trains them....something I did not have.
God has always provided me what was best in my life even in bad situations, He has made something good because I have put my trust in Him to do it and because I seek forgiveness and also, I forgive. Everyone will eventually let us down. They are not God! He will NEVER let us down. He is allowing humans to do it their own way for a short time, but eventually He will right all the wronged and bring justice to the world. I am only responsible for my own actions and I choose to love and forgive.

Denise,
Tara's on FB and sometimes (very rarely) goes into the yahoo group with the most members in it. She's still an awesome person. :)

I sat here today and read all 83 pages of this forum. I am disgusted, but not surprised at what I read. My experience was perhaps different, but maybe the early years had something to do with it. I also was under the Camerons and the Barretts. I myself did not suffer any abuse. When my husband and I spoke about it, we decided that perhaps I found out what was expected and did it to avoid problems, especially the second time. The only memories I have are positive ones...pnut butter pancakes with maple syrup, Friday fish dinners, oranges/grapefruits on the porch. Food, it always seems to be food. I guess that was the focus when you had no other. I left (for the last time) in 1977. I moved out from my parents home quickly to avoid going back (who knew what mother would do?) While I do not remember the abuse per se', I have really blocked out about 1.5 years of my life....why would that be? I am not sure I can explain why I do not remember 2 separate trips to the Rebekah Home for Girls. I do believe the first time was under the Camerons (73) the second under the Barretts (76-77), but really? I am guessing. I honestly do not remember. Alzheimer's or repressed memories?? I am not sure. What I am sure of is that even though I may not remember you, I would love to hear from girls (women) from my time. I would like to know what went on and other girls they knew. I signed up on classmates.com, but it does not seem to generate much traffic, or at least vocal ones. Hope everyone is well. Pam Chapman (Kimbrel)

I know this comment has nothing to do with this program, shit!! I am not even the same gender. I just wanted to say I am suffering from the same problem, Pamela (I think). Blockage, repressed or who knows what right now. I went through Marathon House Middletown R.I. from 1974 till 1975 and I also can not remember much. It is very sketchy at best. I am not giving up though because the feeling I feel when I read posts here tell me a story emotionally. So I know something happened there. Maybe it wasn't bad or traumatic like I have heard from others, I don't know right now. I just recognize this feeling that I belong here and there is something I need to know. Patience has been the key and heavens knows I don't have much of that. Just wanted you to know you are not alone.
Thanks for your post.
(sorry for getting off topic, I say that a lot)
