And you sound like the first Anon, now pretending to be a former participant.

I think the parents who send their children to these programs are control freaks. I think that is why these programs appeal to them.

My experience has been that the parents that put their children in these programs don't know much or have any experience with drugs, alcohol abuse or a troubled runaway. Most of my program friends' parents were clueless about what was wrong with us or how to help us so they beleived these "professionals." To be quite honest I was safer in the program I was in than on the streets with whoever getting high. That does not mean I agree with any abuse of any kind to anyone. Obviously, the best situation would of been for me to be in a program that was not abusive and eventually I was. It sounds like this Deborah person may really be deflecting her anger and resentment towards her ex. onto everyone else."

"Deflecting her anger"----I just hate it when people with no training except for experience as a patient indulge in psychobabble.
Being a patient doesn't qualify you to play at being a doctor.
The parents who send their kids off to strangers are credulous "marks." Most people who fall for con games are.
It doesn't make them bad people, they're just the reason that most of us who aren't credulous "marks" want frauds and cons to be pursued, shut down, and severely punished.
I pity the parents. There are always going to be extraordinarily gullible people in this world, and they're prime examples of the trait.
If and when I ever sound angry with the parents, it's not really anger with them, but more a case of frustration at our laws not being adequate to protect their children from the parents gullibility.
It's pointless to be angry with easy marks for being easy marks.
At the same time, I'm not going to be "sensitive" to the parents by pretending they are not easy marks. Realizing they've been gullible is one of the best chances they've got for growing a healthy skepticism towards anybody who wants their money.

Hmmm....sounds like I hit a nerve. You are an easy mark. Also, I don't think anyone expects you to be sensitive. I doubt you are capable of it.
