An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

I went to the Howey in the Hills school back in the 80's. The stories that you have heard, and briefly touch upon, are just a glimpse what really transpires at the school. However, I have no hard feelings about having gone there. It was an eye opener and I was at a different place back then. I know there are other, more positive alternatives though. I know that as a parent you are only shown a peak of what really transpires inside.There is a lot of manipulation that goes on. I was there for 18 months before being "put on the road", which means that the schools drops you off on the highway in central florida or stockbridge and you are left to your on devices.I thumbed back to Boston, knowing that my family would not communicate with me based on the schools "tough love" policy. The tuition that th school demands could be spent elsewhere on more positive approaches.I would be glad to answer any questions if you have any? Good luck.  JTM
