I just found this wonderful outlet a few weeks ago. 12-9 will be 14 years since my commencement from Straight, Dallas and I have been followed by nightmares, cold sweats, guilt, regret and plenty of sorrow for following onto staff - all the things I have read here the last few weeks. It has been a freeing and cleansing time for me to find out I am not crazy and did not dream that place up - to find validation that thousands of others feel and experience the things I still do. I have read as much as I can to try to understand the different things happening here. Is there a lawsuit pending against The Sembler's, DFFA or any of those other groups related to Straight? If not, is such a thing even possible since Straight,Inc per say, is defunct? I am not so interested in recovering funds as I am in exposing places that still subject kids to those methods....when I read that in some of the posts I just seethed - I had no idea and am curious as to what action, if any, I can participate in to help in the cause of getting them closed. A few other questions - what is WASSP? (not sure about that spelling) PURE, who is Sue Scheff and Carey Bock and are they detrimental to people finding support here or what is the deal with them? I know I have more ?'s but any answers to these would be great as I am still finding myself sometimes lost and trying to catch up and not being able to. Basically I think a forum for support is an awesome healing tool for all of us survivors and legal action to get copycat programs is great too - I just cannot figure out where each of these fall in regards to this forum - maybe it is both (that is my hope) and I just have not been able to find the right posts to answer that question. Thanks for any insight and my support and congratulations to all of us survivors.
