--- Quote ---Thanks. You once mentioned that she kind of stayed away from the family when she got home. Does that mean her entrance into college was delayed or was she squared away by the fall and went right to school? If sh edidn't go right to college how long before she did go? And did you advise her to stay close to home or to move out of state? Did she take your advice?

I am not sure who you are but if you understand a little about programs you will understand that the kids live inside a bubble, insulated from the outside world. They are kept safe from having to make decisions which may harm them so they feel very secure. When she returned home she was curious as to where her friends where after a year and a half. She wanted to explore which is natural. She started seeing her old friends again, smoked pot and drank a little. I was worried and a little upset at first but we had this new found communication and she was able to talk openly about the decisions she was making and we worked thru them together. Anyone who has read my posts know I am not against smoking pot although it is tough to watch your own kid take it on I must admit. She quickly tired of her old friends because she had out grown them emotionally and was mature beyond her years at that point, which programs tend to do.
She was stranded which means she left the program at the end of the summer. It is advantageous to leave the program and go directly into another school setting (public or private) so that there isn’t much idle time between schools. So we spent the time looking at colleges....she finished highschool and went on to college. I left the college decision up to her and she chose to be closer to home than further away.
Troll Control:
Did she actually graduate college? Or is she still going? Did she drop out?

Sorry I just noticed you said she finished high school after she came home from her program? Or did she graduate from the program's school?

She has graduated now,but she did dropped out for awhile to get a job working with veterens to help them get benefits or something like that. A boyfriend got her into it I think. She tired of it and went back to school and finished…took her 5 years.

John Reuben's conversations with himself about his imaginary daughter being "matured beyond her years," "like many" people who spend a lot of time institutionalized, represent the state you might be reduced to, if you join a cult like the one connected to Academy at Swift River, an extension of CEDU, Synanon.
Too bad John Reuben's son committed suicide because of the trauma of torture and imprisonment at Academy At Swift River, instead getting matured. Or maybe he got so matured he was accelerated in old age, and then into death?
