I'm amazed at the outright hostility towards Sue. We all had problems, many of still do but I'm sure you were no saint whomever you are. Before you start ripping into other people, perhaps rejudge your own actions and see if you're in a position to do as such? I was a brat when I was there and I know it. I did it on purpose because I thought the only way to keep that brainwashing crap out was to fight it. I was twelve years old, scared, abandoned, and not even able to talk to the one person I knew there. I remember people sitting behind me used to kick the chair to get me to turn around enough to give them a reason to throw me from the chair and restrain me. I remember having to sit in sex group for the first time and being scared out of my wits because people were talking about stuff I hadn't even learned about yet. So if I had to be a brat to survive that and much more, so be it.
Sue thought she could save herself by doing what she did and as her cousin and watching her do this stuff, I'm sorry but if I can deal with it so can you. Nothing like watching your own relative try to starve herself to death or pop out her shoulder to get the hell out of that place to help the nightmares along.
If you want to judge me or her for it, I doubt either of us will lose sleep over it. I personally have more important things to deal with in my life than someone else's judgement of my actions in a situation I had no control over and was tricked into going to. I dont blame her for what she did and if you have problems with her and what she did then perhaps you have more issues to work out.
I came to this forum in the hopes that perhaps it would be supportive and informative and seeing responses like that disgust me. I avoided y'all for years and when I think on most of the stuff, I block out most things except when I stayed with Rebecca's family for that long stretch. They were wonderful people that became almost like a second family to me while there. I was in a lot of different host homes, but non as nice as that one. If you or your family is reading this, thanks Rebecca. I know you tried to get in contact with me a few years back along with Kim and a couple of others and I appreciate the effort.
