Hi Debi,
Glad to make your acquaintance. And glad you caught the show. I bet there are still an awful lot of former Seedlings in the Bay area.
Yeah, the whole thing was a deeply disturbing and destructive experience. My family got involved with The Seed back in around `70 in Ft. Lauderdale. It's been pretty much downhill from there for my family. I'm OK personally, but the family, for all intents and purposes, no longer exists. Dealing with them is like dealing with Group because they are Group. Even the one oldest sister, who was in college by the time this madness started, has invented an alcohol problem for herself and become a zealous AA proponent.
