--- Quote from: "Dysfunction Junction" ---Understood. And thank you. Please understand that when you go on a "tour" of these places, you don't leave. I'd advise disappearing for a while before that "tour" happens. If you go, you're not coming back. That much we all know here.
Is your family of means? That is, do they have a lot of money? If not, you could potentially break the stranglehold financially. If your mom keeps taking off from work and still never getting you to go with her, she might need to give in because she can't afford to sustain the struggle financially. If she has money, this will be tougher.
I worked as a therapist for many years and at two of these "programs" also as a noob graduate. I'm going to email your mom and shoot her straight about what she's about to do to your life. Hopefully if she hears enough sound advice, she may change her mind. We've (a few of us here at Fornits) have done that before for young people in your situation and have been successful. Keep your head down and your your stuff wired tight and we'll see what we can do.

My father is the worker, my mother is the lazy bitch on the couch - sorry.
It's about half or more of my fathers monthly paycheck, that's all I know.
All I can do is hope that someone can talk sense into her. If she doesn't feel it's the truth, or if she feels it is the truth she doesn't want to face, I'm a bit screwed.
I appreciate everyone's help, again, and the understanding that my father must not hear of this, and no phone calls can be made.
My mother and e-mail is my best bet.

We can grant the second- some of us, anyway- but there's no chance in hell on the first. He WILL hear of this, one way or another, and he WILL be reading this topic. Sorry.
If you're worried about making him violent, make him violent. Hopefully he'll leave bruises. And then you can call the cops on *him*. That'll put this whole business to an abrupt halt.
(Dear Morgan's Dad: Yes. We do give advice like that. Do you have any fucking idea what exactly you are getting into here?)

Well, it sounds like there's not much money to spare if it's half his paycheck (unless he makes $250k plus). It's a big gamble spending that kind of money on a program. They just don't work. They're scams and shams at best (see the "children are products" link in my signature - this is what they believe), outright abusive at worst. Some of them have killed many kids in their "care." Your folks will learn of this...today.

Meh, My father isn't the one I'm worried about, is all. He doesn't want this either, and he's the only one in my line of family I can tolerate. I do appreciate the absence of phone calls. I cannot control any one person, thus I'll stop trying.
