Katies Story
mcarter.fornits:
Hi. This is Katie's dad.
I just wanted to put one quick note here, and that will be all. This is her story, from her view, in her words. It is not mine - and there are events that I remember quite differently myself. Katie has a great talent for writing, and it is definitely coming out here. I've told (and am telling) my side in my blog (http://parents-of-a-troubled-teen.blogspot.com/) - I'd actually recommend that Katie set up a blog there to post to instead of a thread in a bulletin board.
There are at least two sides to every story - this one is Katies.

Yours is the one of an abusive asshole who imprisoned and tortured your daughter for 3 years, and would have done so longer had your money not run out. How long would you have incarcerated her, Micheal? 5 years? 10 years? You know, before human rights laws were as liberal as they were today, a man could lock his children up in institutions literally for their entire lives ; he could do the same to his wife, anyone, if a relatively powerful person targeted them, could be locked away forever in insane asylums. So, if it were legal,and you had unlimitd supplies of $$$ how much of Katie's life would you have ripped from her, Micheal, you sick fuck?

try another castle:
I must be getting old.
I read a good portion of the parent blog around the time it first got crosslinked on fornits, and started at the beginning.
And when I read stuff like this, the whole idea of fault kind of just pisses itself away, and all I am left with is this deep sorrow. I just don't have the energy to be mad or uppity about it, or call anyone evil or a child abuser.
It just makes me sad. These places destroy lives, they destroy families. They promise a happy ending and give you the opposite.
I don't care who in the family was unreasonable, in the end, nobody wins, except for the program.
I think about Daniel more often than I should. If he's alive, and if so, where? I never knew the kid, but when I first read the story, it hit a nerve.
So when I read things like this, I think about him.. and his father.
And it makes me sad.
I definitely must be getting old.
To katie's dad, thanks for posting: all I really would like to say is... please, if you *are* still doing referrals, please stop. That is blood money.
Ursus:
:tup: Well said, Castle, I couldn't have said it any better (actually, that last goes without saying given my social ineptitude). This whole situation is primarily one of dysfunctional family dynamics, rapacious greedy corporations that will bleed a family dry regardless of human cost, and an inherently sucky sucky world.
Comment about dysfunctional family dynamics: just like some individuals sometimes cut to make themselves feel better and provide a controlled release for pain, a dysfunctional family almost always choses to focus on a single member as being "the root cause" of all their problems. Katie is just subconsciously expressing it all for you, right down to even fulfilling the role of self-cutter to complete the metaphor!
Healing from all this takes time and love, and lots of retracting that "finger of blame" by all sides concerned.
