Ok yesterday it wouldnt let me reply and now it will so great. i had a long talk last night with my mom about CCM. She was shocked at what I told her about the forum and the abuse at Straight, Ive ridge, CCM, ect. She and I talked about something interesting. Her ex boyfriend, who was one of the people who helped my parents find a program for me, I really dislike and still do. He is a controlling bastard and my Mom and I were lucky enough to get away from him after I came home from CCM. But she remembered that when they had to go through Discovery to get to go through seminars with me, he pitched a fit in the seminar. He asked for credentials and asked for their lisence to practice therapy. When they didnt give him that and they made his wanting credentials abotu him being manipulative he walked out of the seminar and refused to go to any of them. He was a bastard, but he knew what was up. I remember when he told me how he disliked the way they were doing things at CCM, I got so defensive and mad at him. Guess I should have payed more attention. And we were alos talking about when they woudlnt let my Mom talk to me and she pitched a fit, they told her she was being "controlling" and if she wanted me to get better, she had to "let go". She might come join the forum soon which I think woudl be a good thing for her to see whats going on.

"Letting go" does NOT mean abdicating parental responsibility or knowledge of whats going on with your child, or cutting off contact.
Unless I am mistaken, the *ONLY* reason to cut off a child from contact with loved ones/family and especially their parents or guardians, is if that person is abusive to them.
Sorry, but that just strikes me as typical program bullshit.
They came with a Bible and their religion- stole our land, crushed our spirit... and now tell us we should be thankful to the 'Lord' for being saved.

Amanda (and everybody), sorry about the forum being flakey lately. We're fending off a DOS attack over in the Straight forum and, well, we made a few mistakes along the way. I think it's all better now. But we're still tweaking. I know we accidentally blew out all of Cayo Hueso's posts in the last three weeks or so (since her IP address changed) I'm trying to get those back from the backup. If you notice anyone else who's gone missing or if you hear of anyone who got banned for no good reason, please tell them to contact us. It's no bother at all, it would be nothing but helpful.

On another note, maybe you should drop the old bastard a line and thank him for paying attention. His hissy fit probably helped a lot of people get a clue, even if they didn't put it all together and act on it right away.
Oh, and I look forward to hearing from your mom. But please tell her to brace herself for some hostile responses. It's difficult for ppl to understand where the parents are coming from sometimes. But it helps a LOT when parents tough it out and speak their peace on the matter.
If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

Niles,
You dont have to apologize. I agree.
Ginger,
Well, he lives on a beach with his mother and they drink martinis all day, so I dont think if I even thanked him he would care. He saw through the bullshit, yes, but I would rather spend a week locked up in a room full of my Dad and Step Moms Right wing Presbyterian friends than talk to him for one minute, so there you have it.
My Mom is a great person. Im not sure if she will actually get on here. Shes a super busy lady. But she might if Im over and am on the website or something. I agree her perspective might help alot.

Sorry to hear about your step dad. I think you can't live w/ someone w/o coming to love them just a little. It's sad when they're unable or unwilling or just too cowardly to reciprocate.
Sounds like you and your mom have teamed up on scammers and bullies lately. That is just SO good to hear! :nworthy:
My dad and I got along just fine once we were able to talk like reasonable human beings about all that bad water under the bridge. Any random quotes you might see attributed to Crazy Mac, that's him. He was a real living, breathing hero to me, despite his flaws and misteps. WTF, he eventually forgave all of mine!
