Hi Smileicious - who is this?  We were obviously there at the same time (VCA 87 - 88).  This is Dana Palmer.  Amy Greason and I are still best friends and are always looking to get in touch with others.  

Hi Rebekah - your buddies name was Monique Pattynama, we were friends for awhile after Victory but lost touch.  How are you?

Wow... You all seem like some really angry people. The place in Jay has changed a lot, so you're kind of dwelling on the past. It is now called Lighthouse Christian Academy and there is a new Pastor as well. Pastor Cookston.  I was in LCA from April 2006- June 2007. I guess i'm knid of flabergasted about what some of you wrote. They still do the soap thing, but they NEVER shoved it down anyone's throat while i was there... Are you sure you aren't overreacting? They only did good by me. I thought they were unfair in some areas, but they've never harmed anyone unless they were tring to hurt someone...


So glad things turned out well for you.  Obviously though you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to the VCA we all attended.  You would be angry too if you had to go through what alot of us did.  Anger is a part of healing and sometimes you have to "dwell on the past" in order to get through it and on with life.  It has taken many of us years to get this far.  Have you stopped to think that maybe many of us might be angry due to people telling us to "get over it" or that we are "overreacting" - abuse is abuse, whether it be mental or physical and comments like those only make it harder to move on.  Places like this give survivors like myself a place to vent and a sense of belonging knowing we are not alone in our struggle.

I wish you the best of luck.

My name when I was there was Dana Palmer (no relation).  

I can't believe it has been 20 years since I was at Victory.  I also have both good memories and bad.  I met my best friend Amy there and she has been a great support.  But I also have some anxiety issues due to techniques Victory staff employed as well.  

I was reading posts for a few years ago (as I just found this) and boy do I remember alot.  I remember Amie (Bro P. daughter) and Nico, I even attended their wedding.  I remember the Brownes, Miss Virginia, Ms. Judy (Chris & Pitts) was there when I was a "new girl", the Cooks and the Kissles.  Boy was I shocked to hear Yesenia came back as a staff, she must have tortured people.  I had laundry duty for what seemed like forever.  The "GR" room I was well acquianted with when I was new. I could go on and on.    Anyone remember and of this?
