My name is Geoff Alleger, some of you might know me, and I'd desperately like to talk to you. Especially any of you staff who know who I am, I need someone to explain to my parents what happened to me there. They refuse to believe that what I tell them is the truth. I think I know who one of the main ex-staff posters is I'll leave it at "N". If you're out there I know you'll remember me, and please get in touch. thezproject@mac.com

In addition:
CEDU doesn't scare me anymore, and I feel no need to hide my identity from the posters (and viewers) of this forum. The abuse I experienced there, and was forced to inflict on others, has haunted me for 10 years and I need to find some way of letting it all go... The deep sociopathic and paranoid tendencies I developed under those conditions have made it impossible for me live what I would consider to be a full and normal life... I wish it hadn't taken me 10 years to see that I'm not the only one who was seriously damaged by these people.
Anyone needing someone who is ready and willing to shed the internet-enabled cloak of anonyminity (spelling?), HERE I AM. I'll put my face next to the things that happened to me under any degree of scrutiny, the only way I know of to deal with what happened to me is doing what I can to prevent it from happening to others.

Geoff, I went to CEDU in 1987. I NEVER spoke about this experience until I came to this site; I understand wanting your folks to understand the shit behind the facade. I would talk to them if necessary or if they were amiable, but a staff member would be a real coup. Maybe Roy or Max can help you to this end.
In any event, for me it was 15 years ago, and I am just now realizing the damage.I kind of subliminated it. It came out in anxiety; distrust of any relationships; difficulty emerging into real world after being in such an insular environment etc.
It's good you are dealing with this now instead of later. Good luck.

I'll help you out, I've been there myself. My mom keeps giving me this mind trip about "I thought CEDU helped you" My sisters are coming around. Obviously when you own everything you ever wanted to except a house, and still want to off yourself, they know I'm not bullshitting.
