I'm not exactly anonymous aroun' here, Mr Carter. Most in these parts know me well. Better than I like, in some cases.
As for you - I don't really care if you "hear" me or not. After all - Why should I waste a minute of my time on the likes of you? Your daughter is out now - and she has found the validation she so badly needs - she knows she is not alone in her perception of reality - she can now access a far greater understanding of what was done to her (and you, if she cares) as well as how to find healing. So, I've no need or interest in pounding my head against your brick wall.
That said, maybe some day a glimmer of truth will filter through your programming and you'll want to talk (or write) another program parent who understands what you've experienced. If so, I'll be available.
As for your critique of Help at Any Cost - you say it wasn't balanced? That is nothing more then the program crap and pablum they fed you. That is the line the trained you to take to keep you from thinking. Help at Any Cost deals with the realities found in these private, for profit, "teen help" programs. Maia Szalavitz has provided the well documented reality - not the whit-washed spewing of the brain washed Legions of Faithful - which you call "balance".
As for you taking comfort Cross Creek is somehow a cut above - you need to keep in mind CC is a WWASP program. A WWASP program is a WWASP program. They ALL follow the same Program. Cross Creek just charges more for the same worthless education, neglect, psychological and physical abuse.

Buzzkill, have you lived what you spew here? Do you have, or have had a problem child? Walk a mile in Mr. Carters shoes for one day and you may change your tune.
Mr. Carter, you spoke of other children. How are they? Are they emotional vampires as well? Are they needy children that suck every ounce of energy from you also? Sorry, a friend of mine has a child that sounds a lot like your Katie. All she can do it hope and pray that the child makes it to adulthood and moves out. No amount of therapy, talking, crying, pleading, yelling does any good. She doesn't have the means to put her in a program, but I think if she did, she would.
My guess is your other children are well adjusted and doing fine in school and life. It seems almost every family has one problem child and there isn't anything that you can do. If they make it to adulthood, they become whiny needy adults that never have long lasting friendships because they just plain wear people out.
Good luck. She's 18, has she graduated high school? If she has what is she still doing there? Show her the door.

LOL. You're talking to a genuine wwasp parent there. Pretty rude if you ask me considering how polite she was to you. Perhaps if you were less defensive and more polite (like your daughter) people wouldn't be attacking you so much. I find it amazing in contrast to how polite your daughter's response was to harsh treatment.
Listen... When you're attacked, you have two options:
1. escalate the conflict
or
2. diffuse the conflict
The result is 90% up to you. Your response here is almost as omnidirectionally venomous as many of the guests!

It's funny how this clown of a parent is asking us to all post our names. I think I'll choose to remain anonymous for the time being. If this was my daughter I wouldn't let her play games with me. I'd show her who is in charge, the old fashion way. If you give kids an inch these days, they take a mile. Programs are okay for children who have mild to moderate issues, but severe emotional and behavior issues require severe intervention. Some people here say it's abusive, I think it's needed. I'm not going to outline what I did to my daughter exactly, but let's just say it turned her attitude around very quickly.
