Lets face it, the only reason there were set backs, start overs and
court orders were because of the DOLLAR$$$$$$ I was court ordered
because I had split twice. Staff recognized that they had controll of
my mother and step father and knew that they were committed to paying
the freight of my stay. That is why they suggested I be court ordered.
It's a shame that a parent would give up custody to the state of
Florida because they had a "Uncontrollable Child" what a load of shit.
I am now a parent of a 15 and 16 year old, they are my
responsibilty...to give up and turn them over to some organization
like Straight only admits failure as a parent. There is one thing
Straight did teach me, and that is to be a more compassionate parent.
Don't get me wrong I am hard but fare with my kids , I am a 6 year
verteran of the Army, but I know what my responsibilty and obligations
to them are. I would be dammed if I allowed some bullshit organization
like straight dictate to me what I do with my childrens well being.
