Compliance is not character. Weakness is not strength. Regression is not growth. Tough love is a hate group. Time for some straight talk about the Troubled Parent Industry. This is a forum where all viewpoints are both welcome and fair game for debate. It\'s a snap-shot of the Teen Help industry, and there\'s nothing inspiring or heart-warming about it. In fact, it can get pretty damned ugly.
