Most parents are desperate to avoid the juvenile justice systems for their kids...
Is that a fact or just your opinion?
so desperate that they are, most often, exploited further by the marketing machines these facilities use..
Wwasps marketing is not sophisticated, it's the worst in the industry. Is a crappy website, a phone call and a few brochures all it takes to convince a parent to send their kid off to a reprogramming gulag?
they try to give you "hope" that your child will be well cared for and safe...
You "hope" your kid will be safe because it's obvious how dangerous it is. Not exactly a well thought out plan to base it all on "hope".
this is a trap that you cannot see when you are in "full crisis mode"
It's a trap parents
refuse to see, to
relieve themselves of the crisis.
I don't think I was dumb...just desperate.
Keep telling yourself that.
My son was both physically & mentally abusive to me...I lived in fear of him.
What better way to get back at him by giving him a taste of his own medicine. If a kid hired thugs to kidnap their parents to take them to a hidden facility where they will be subject to abusive reprogramming the kid would be placed in jail, and probably diagnosed with a variety of mental illnesses. What makes it any different for a parent? Because there is a loop hole in the law that says it's legal?
That said...I still pulled him after 2 months.
Just enough time to show him who is in charge. Now he knows thugs with handcuffs are just a phone call away. He can be flown out of the country and held in private prison until he is 21 on the whims of a parent. Mission accomplished. Control reasserted.
The 5 years that have elapsed since then has been trying and difficult, but my son and I made a commitment to each other that "maintaining our good relationship" was the TOP priority for us. Even if that meant that sometimes we could not live together in harmony. Rather than destroy what we both worked so hard to achieve, we remove ourselves from the conflict first and we have zero tolerance for physical violence.
Have you ever heard the term
control freak before? It afflicts 100% of program parents, oddly enough.
Please note: my son has been diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) so that problem is always hovering overhead whenever we have a fight.
I even rent a room to him in my other apartment upstairs. He pays rent and I treat him just like any other tenant.
Control. Freak. 100% of program parents, guaranteed.
