Hey Hippie. If you are right about it only costing $2500/year, then I am pretty sure that my parents exagerated the costs. But again their POOR, POOR SUFFERING & INCONVENIENCE.  

I need councilling BBAAADDD! The Semblers should have to pay to have me completely fixed in the brain.

I'm taking 3 advil and going to bed. See yall later.

I would love to just cut all ties to my parents. They are toxic to me. My only other sib is a few years younger than I. She learned to be the most perfect angel in the world (ie "sneaky/snobby bitch" hiding her coke under the stearing wheel horn plate, etc). She distanced herself from me with my parents permission upon my return from Straight. My father even installed a key-lock on her bedroom door for her. My parents were so stupidly preoccupied with trying to bust me at anything (just waiting to have me put away or Bakers Acted or whatever)to see that my little sister learned to do her dirty deeds (normal teen party scene) by my mistakes (I was not sneaky about my normal teen party scene...bcuz it was totally NORMAL). They, the parents, made it abnormal by blowing it all out of proportion. If I had ever been arrested, or broke into someones house, or failed a grade I could MMAAYYBBEE understande the extremely drastic measure of Straight. As far as I'm concerned, they made me fail 11th grade and consequently drop out (later got GED & almost AS).

Thanks Girl! I think I got that you are not in contact with your parents/brother? You must not have "had" to depend on them financially after straight? I'll read it a few more times and eventually catch it. If I had not been financially dependent on them after straight, I would lost contact with them immediately. Now, it's too late to lose contact with them bcuz they are dependent on me to doctors appts, weeding their yard, etc....The sneaky bitchy sister is now Ms High Society (literally & figuratively) who burns the candle at both ends and never gets burned. Funny, she is never available to help the parents at all!!

But I'm serious about wanting to know atleast approximately how much my parents had to pay Straight to keep my locked in hell.

PS  If I'd lost 30K in a family estate, I'd fucking sue the hell out of my sister. However, I needn't worry 'bout that...considering they were financially ruined bcuz of me having to be put in Straight and all that SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
 ::soapbox:: I'm off my soap "opera" box now.

When I 1st found this website I saw a page that broke down the yearly cost for Straight, Inc. Now I can't find it. I emailed Wes Fager and he replied but not to what I was looking for. He directed me to the year end financial statements to run the program.

Does anybody know what the fee was charged for out of town kids that served all their time in foster homes? Was it different than locals?

I'm asking, and want to know, because if I ever get rich (win the lottery?), I would like to give my parents a check for that exact amount of money.

Since Straight gave them the get out of jail free card for anything they did wrong in raising me, I have never been allowed to tell them the many things they did wrong (or how it affected me). One day, I would love to give them full financial reimbursement for the full Straight bill along with a very long & detailed explanation of all the things they did wrong in raising me.

I am so sick & tired of playing this role of 41 year old woman who ruined everyones life.

Sorry for the rambling/venting. I just really want to know how much it cost financially. Did they charge by the month/year? Did it cost extra for out of towners? I know they incurred travel expenses every weekend (gas & food); but, they lodged with Tampa family. So, no hotel bills were incurred until what? I don't even remember! 3rd phase?

PS  when I got married in 1995, I made my husband  take me to Tampa for our honeymoon. I also made him stay at the hotel where my parents stayed when I was "allowed" to spend wknds with them. Anyone from the 1980/81 era may remember that brand new shiny Marriott in the business district of Tampa? They gave Straight families a discount. Always trying to retrace the steps back to hell (even on my honeymoon). Psycho!
Well, it wasn't new & shiny on my honeymoon. Thank God I married a Saint who tries to help me with this stuff that haunts me. I'm glad I found the address of the bldg (threw yall) so next time we visit the Bay area, I'll know exactly where to go to finally see it with my own eyes again.

I was elated when I typed Straight Inc into Google a few weeks ago and found this site. I've been typing Straight Inc into Bellsouth browser for years with notta.

I am thankful for this resourse.

I also spent hours one night going through previously posted topics & found several appreciative posts...even from "newcomers" like myself.

Did you go back to Straight? Started all over again? did you have to get up in group and tell what you did & what happened? did staff let you tell group of your alternative to that lesser plea vs going back to straight?

What happend to the other foster brother? did he go back to Straight too? Was it his girlfried that called the cops on y'all?

I bet telling all that was exhausting. But I bet it feels good to get it out.

You seem to have come to a lot of ppls emotional rescue on this site. I saw the coffee table picture and agree that was an awesome gift (i went way far back into topic pages and found all sorts of good info).

I did tons of reading on this site last night including the sites recomended. I remember Marcie Sizemore as she came in just a couple of weeks after me. She was a petite girl and always looked like she was freezing cold to me. I never lived in a foster home with her so we never developed a relationship. I'm impressed that she filed suit in 1982...she wasted no time...wish I knew how to congradulate her for having the intelligence to fight back in the only way possible (law suit). Marcie Sizemore is my new hero!

Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / Relationship status with our parents
« on: January 05, 2006, 09:32:00 AM »
i think you did make your father proud of you. it sounds like he tried to stand up for you in front of your mother. your mother sounds like a torture goddess out loud. i say out loud bcuz my mother is a torture goddess in other sneaky ways like guilt trips and silent treatments. But we live near each other unlike you and yours.

i also think your father asking you to restain the deck was a great excuse for him to see you before he passed away. maybe he knew.

Bless You Hippie. I hope you mother will one day lay off your past and accept you as you are. I'm learning to deal with my mothers torturous ways slowly but surely.

Sounds like you completely raised yourself, financially and all. Good job dude!

Dear Hippie, I noticed on the WTF topic that you stated your father was sick or close to death  (just a couple weeks ago?).

I'm curious about how you & your parents relationship was after straight, how your father is now, how are you doing with it? Does/did your parents like your music?

If it's too personal, don't worry bout it. Just want you to know that I saw that & cared about it.

In a nutshell, I've always been in communication & even lived w/my parents after hell hole. i'm now sort of a taxi driver for my mom to all her pain management doctor appts. they suck the life right out of me just being on the phone with all their problems with no solutions. honor thy father and mother is what i try to do regardless of my childhood.

I've read all the info on the home page regarding lawsuits and such. Where I live however Straight nor Miller nor the Semblers are EVER (and have NEVER) been mentioned in a newspaper or reel.

I'm new to this site & have never seen a newspaper or news reel on any of this stuff (until now). Until I found this website I thought Straight Inc was still in operation & all was well with Miller Newtons world.

Who are the trustees & what motion does Newton want dismissed? Can you bring me up to date in a nutshell or advise me what article to read to bring me current? I apologize if this irritates all of you who have been in the know for redundancy sake.

Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / In Rememberance of Wanda.
« on: January 04, 2006, 09:20:00 PM »
Where & when? I think I remember something horrible like that. I had my hair cut off voluntarily (Dorthy Hamil style HA). The uglier we could make ourselves the better off we were. Were you in St Pete 80-81? That sucks!!!! Wanda had that long "straight" red hair...imagine her with a mullet cut as that would have suited her butch approach to us much better. I'm sorry that happened to you.

It was brought to my attn that staffers were "tweaked" even worse than us. I also feel it may be tabboo to talk ill of the dead.

OMG. Years after straight I was getting my hair hi-lited @ a salon in Jacksonville FL. One of the stylists in the salon is the one that gave me my Dorthy Hamil hair cut in straight. She had a son & daughter in straight the same time I was there. She remembered me and said both her kids were doing well but that's as far as she would talk about it. I remembered both of her kids faces...the son looked like Dweazle Zappa? I don't remember their names. Her daughter was beautiful with very long black hair.
