An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

It's also about people blaming the program for their kid killing themselves outside of the program. For any parent who thinks their kid will come back "fixed" is fooling themselves. The fix it thing is too good to be true. If those kids came back and succeeded at killing themselves than that sucks.

Antigen,
  That was my opinion. I never claimed to be right. It is simply what I think. If she wants to get her GED great. If she doesn't...well that will make things more difficult. These days a minimum of a HS degree is becoming more and more standard for employment.

Gung Ho? That's cute. Put it this way. I see both sides. I'm talking to anyone that has a hard time adjusting. I think I kinda sound like a bitch. I think that some of it applied and a lot didn't. I think that it was a too much for a lot of people. Am I for it? No. Am I against it? Yes. Why? Because it's too harmful.
Thing is, shit happens to everyone. Everyone's got a sob story. Life isn't easy. It's damn hard. It all boils down to; are you going to let it bring you down? Or are you going to roll with the punches. Knock every problem out as they come? There are a lot of fuckers in this world. However, those real shitty times sure do help you to appreciate the nice and easy times no? Yes. Life is not a big mystery. Live your life. Make mistakes, learn, grow, enjoy, laugh, cry, get mad, get sad, and appreciate.
Amanda, you have it in you to get over the shit that your stepmother put you through. What she does sucks. But there's no changing her. Do what you need to do and never be like her.

I wrote a new topic called "To all the Survivors". Basically a gesture of support to all those who have been through the program and are realizing how damaging it has been.

It will take some time for the program to wear off. It all depends on how long and how deep he was into the program.
Amanda and I have been out for some time now. Feel free to talk to us about it. It can help for him to hop on this forum and read all about it. :wink: Good luck to him.

Hello...it's me. Haven't been here in a while. Well, to all those program survivors...It gets better once you repiece your life together again. It may take time but it is feasible. 4 years later and I am happy to report I live a normal life. It is merely a time in my past. I do not allow it to break me. I don't have nightmares. I only hope that the rest of you can find a return to normalcy. Please work hard to put this all behind you so it doesn't hinder your life now. I feel for you all. Some of us endured more difficult times than others. The conditioning is one method that is hard to break. The outside real world is so different. Good luck. :wink:
