I just read your post and I can back you up 100%! I was at VCA in the mid-90's, and I have the same feelings. If Victory was supposed to help, why are there so many of us struggling with the hurt for years after we were released?
You heard the news about the Mexico school...one thing to thank God for! Now if we could just shut down the rest of Palmer's "ministry" and reach out to the survivors...
I found a great site after years of searching for other girls from VCA/Genesis online:
There are even pictures of life at VCA, pretty cool. Although I would not wish Victory on anyone, I don't want the 2 years I was there to just disappear, wasted. It's bittersweet to think of us miserable lonely girls trying our best to make good out of a bad situation...Friday nights, our short-lived soccer matches, the occasional kind word from Mrs. Dore or Gram, the peanut butter brownie on your birthday (I have pictures!), hunting for frogs with Katie when someone was outside to watch us, the things we did to make life more bearable.
I'd like to talk to you more about VCA...maybe you were there at the same time as me? Post me back with your email!
