lots of weed
good freinds
college
tearing HLA a new one on fornits
Tearing HLA a new one in real life
psilicybin therapy
DMT therapy
back packing around europe

Standing up for myself and my belifs agressively is an ongoing "therapy" which really helps. whenever i see Mormons, i stare at them untill they come up to me and ask "would you like to learn more about jesus?". I then proceeed to offend them as hard as i can. one time i stood there and poured an entire 2L coke over their heads. that felt amazing. another time i follwed them around while they asked other people, and whenever they popped the question to some stranger i start saying "jesus porn, jesus porn, i like jesus porn. would you like to suck some jesus dick? these guys love the jesus dick so much they'll suck your dick!" etc. etc. this is NY so i get more laughs than angries. now the mormons avoid my neighborhood alltogether.

I also had the honor of (verbally) reaming Gulliani (rah rah..911..terror..rah rah...danger...911...rah rah...) himself in person, in front of dozens of potential old, jewish donors who withdrew their donations immediately.

What does Giuliani have to do with the program you were in? Anyway, that's funny how you were fucking with those Mormons.

Have you ever seen "Napolean Dynamite"? Apparently Mormons had a lot to do with that film.

Music (playing in a band, etc) was a good thing for me after getting out, too...

Proving them (program, parents) wrong - aceing classes, working at a brilliant fucking job, making more money than my parents and/or AARC staff.


High adrenaline stuff like skateboarding down hills at 45 mph.


Severing communications w/ my mother - I've realized that interacting with her is still damaging. By any objective standards I am doing phenomenally well in my life - but she continues to cast this shadow over everything I do because years ago I smoked pot a few times. To add to that, it hurts so badly that she now knows exactly what happened to me there and still defends them (and herself), saying they were only trying to help. What part of psychological torture and sexual assault was supposed to be helpful? Anyway, not talking to her is the most positive thing I can do in my life. These deadend arguments that always end with my questioning her sanity and/or humanity do me no good.


And the converse of the above: surrounding myself with strong, intelligent, sane people.

Just an observation here, but has anyone noticed how it was usually the mothers who made the ultimate decision to "incarcerate" us?

hmmmmmmmm......

"He goes to CEDU or I leave you"

I guess I'm one of the exceptions.  My dad walked all over my mom during and after their marriage.  He's the one who heard about Straight from his EAP through the St. Pete Times.  He convinced my mother that I would DIE if I didn't go, convinced her that I would DIE if she pulled me (she made small noises at first, but backed off when he and other Straight parents went off on her).

I didn't (couldn't because of their interference w/ custody of my kids) severe contact with him until after my kids were grown and it wasn't until then that I was truly able to let go of a lot of the shit from that place.  He still believed in it for so long that I just felt still trapped in there even though I had long since gotten out.

In the case of the program I was in, it was almost always the mother with pushing the program - the father usually kind of reluctantly dragged along.

I really think there is an interesting observation there. Some sort of Medea complex - the mother driven to kill her children for motives unknown.

Hahahahaha, yep I got this. Thank God the bitch finally died. It took my family a year to call me up, and tell me. My father didn't want me to dance on her grave, or disrupt the funeral, I am sure I would have. I did anyways, however it was a year later.

Back to the subject on hand......who/what helped me when I got out of the program?


1. Aunt/Uncle/Cousins

2. My high school sweetheart of 3 1/2 years

3. Grateful Dead, and dropping LSD

4. XTC

5. Friends

6. Pretending like it never happened.
