Residential school syndrome - PTSD and trauma

[Anonymous]

I just noticed that someone posted under my name 'a voice from nowhere'. At first I was amused. But then upon further reading of posts, I realized that the moderators may think I am the poster 'a voice from nowhere'.

I am not.


I am a Mom who (after my daughter refused to go back) realized that TBS was a huge mistake.

I am still learning everyday.  She is doing fine and I admire her strength

Again, the clear eyes, belly laugh and her intent on deciding who she is makes the decision (refusing to go along with TBS and all the dicks who said we were doiing the wrong thing by not having her escorted BACK to school) absolutely the right thing to do.  I am very bitter towards the struggling teen industry and I can only hope that the word gets out to the frantic parents, and yes I was one of them, there are alternatives.

Peace,
xxoo

Even if someone isn’t systematically tortured, simply being locked away without the opportunity to legally challenge your incarceration is extraordinarily damaging, mentally.

Why someone would think it's "helpful" to violate someone else's human rights, to plunge them into an Orwellian nightmare, to do what is being done to those poor bastards at Gunatanamo(sp?) bay(well, minus the water boarding) is beyond me.

In fact, is not holding someone against their will, without a right to challenge this, in itself not torture?

Has their ever been an institution that held humans in this form of bondage that has not also engaged in further abuse of their detainees? I doubt it. When one is held in a position of powerlessness, exploitation of that powerlessness is inevitable.

Yes, but it would depend on how one defines the word "abuse." Here at SIBS, we occasionally may have to throw a kid into the cage with Gary (our very friendly resident gorilla) since he seems to be able to quiet them down pretty quickly. You've never seen a druggie shit his pants so quick!  :rofl:

oh yeah, wanted to add, thank you PSY and Rachael for your posts. Your writings made it possible. Being different is not bad. In fact it's a breath of fresh of air. I embrace my daughter's alternative ways. One year ago, I pleaded with an educational consultant, "but do you send someone away for the way the THINK?"

I work everyday on forgiveness and understanding. It's a work in progress and we've come a long way on our journey. Never again will someone tell me what to with my child.




Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?

Thank you very much for this comment. I was a little down today and this has helped pick me up a bit. It just seems so futile to keep speaking up sometimes. When the only people who seem to be listening are those like the Who and CCM, it gets to be discouraging.

That isn't just you, that's all guest posts these days. No one is singling you out. You can always create a profile and post under that, then the guest identifier will disappear.
