If Parents Are Brainwashed, Where Do Whitmore Alumni Turn?

(1/9) > >>

Anonymous:
If kids want to talk about their experiences at Whitmore, who can they turn to if their own parents won't believe them?  Some parents will not believe that anything bad happened to their kids at Whitmore. They may still be talking to Mark and Cheryl who are asking for the parent's support now. Or, they just don't want to admit that they made a mistake in sending their kid to Whitmore in the first place. Some of the parents are more brainwashed than the kids.

Antigen:
Generally, they'll talk to friends back home who won't really get it. If they're lucky, they'll keep contact w/ one or two friends from the program and they'll support each other while they sort it all out.

So I hope you guys on all sides are able to forgive the bullshit that's flown around here at times.

I think when the kids who are at Whitmore now get home that they will be able to communicate with the other kids just fine.

My feeling is that most of the angry words back and forth are being generated by Cheryl Sudweeks.

They kids aren't really enemies. They are just being manipulated and have no choice right now.

But once they are away from Whitmore and can figure things out in their own minds, they will see that none of them had real choices.

These kids know that they didn't choose to punch out their friends while they were at Whitmore, and they know they really have no choice about these angry encounters they are involved in now.

Hopefully the parents will be able to figure all this out too.

Doesn't PURE have someone on their roster who has first-hand, personal experience with the specialized needs of adopted children?
