-If there's a worse idea going than locking kids up for victimless crimes, it's probably locking them in close proximity to some tyrannical altruist bent on helping them even if it kills them.

Hey everyone, weird, aint it? After some twenty years still thinking about Straight. When I think of my teenage years I think Straight. I got started over on fourth phase for a beer can collection that was in my parents house in the attic that my dad put there because they were very valuable rare cans. When I got put on fourth phase I was allowed priviledges, like to go to Orlando for the weekend with my family. My older brother had his rock album collection and my dad stashed my valuable collection in the attic. Somehow, this guy, Roger, found out about my cans from my dad, he went in my brothers room and found some rock albums. When I came back from the weekend, I was confronted and started over. I spent three and a half years in this hell hole. I resent my youth being taken by Dr. Newton. My parents gave tax deductable money to straight for as long as they could, I found the receipts long after being in Straight. These people were great at manipulation. I hate straight. I could go on forever, but, I am trying to heal.

Our Bible reveals to us the character of our god with minute and remorseless exactness... It is perhaps the most damnatory biography that exists in print anywhere. It makes Nero an angel of light and leading by contrast.

The loss of time and youth that we all suffered is not insignificant. I'm sometimes very jealous of my husband. He's got a few good friends from his highschool days and they've become some of my dearest friends over the years. But I have none of my own, no memories of normal adolescence, even if I had someone to share them with. And there's no reclaiming the lost oportunities. That's not insignificant, it still hurts; sometimes more than others. And it's always very painful to reflect that my own mother did this to me.

This bothers me a lot too. I think its one of the main reasons I feel so disconnected from people. I have no roots. I have no frame of reference when it comes to going through my kids teen years. Looking back now that's when a lot of this 'awakening' happened....when my kids reached the age that I was when I went in. I just tried to follow my instincts as a parent up until then, but when they hit 16 I was lost for a while. Now my youngest is going to be 18 fairly soon and I just now feel like I'm beginning to get a handle on how all this shit effected me.There never was a good war or a bad peace.
