..and on top of that you are suggesting that I be labelled somehow to warn people about what “you” have decide I am. I bet you would be the first one to cry a river if you had to wear a sign around your neck in a program reading “Sociopath” or “Whore” etc. . But this is your first order of business if you gained the power seat.
You seem to be no better than those you criticize in the program......Interesting isn’t it?
I already did cry a river with the label
whore around my neck, with snot bubbles, swollen face, the whole 9 yards. I did the same with the word
worthless spray painted on a sheet wrapped around my body. The same when I sat at a desk facing the wall for 3 months...I am comfortably numb with labels.
Perhaps if you, yourself went to MBA, RMA, CEDU, ASPEN Ranch, etc., you would be numbed as well, as you would have endured not only the labeling of such words, the literal "wearing" of such labels, also the constant reminders of possessing these qualities by staff screaming these words to you, amidst 'profanity laced group sessions', staff encouraging your peers to call you such words, staff making you say these words, repeatedly to yourself in the mirror...staff, adults, of whom you are expected to trust, staff of whom you are expected to assume that everything they say is true, staff of whom you would never question, whether it be context, intention, authority, knowledge, training...
Sociopath is a perfect cloak for you, based on your words and actions on this board. Just like staff assumed worthless and whore where the perfect cloaks for me, at 12, based on what little they knew of me, using key points as ammunition--adoption, molestation, strained relationship with parents. You are obviously a cold, apathetic individual, in whatever your truth is. Whether it be the story you insist upon telling, that you have or had a daughter in one of these programs, that you are the grieving father of a son of whom went through one of these programs and died of an overdose, or just an industry official paid to be on these boards for damage control. I don't believe I need to spell out each individual instance. If you are the 2 former descriptions, feel free to PM me, and I will explain. But I am leaning more toward a lowly paid employee of whom the Industry hired to come on boards like these and turn attention away from the testimonies and truths of past students. You are probably paid a sad salary to come on here, picking your own disguise, for the sole purpose of wrapping your cold arm around a questioning parent, turning them away from reading the experiences of past students, most those experiences being horror-filled, and proverbially saying, "Come, come over here, let me show you the wonderful swimming pool we have."
Any of the 3 scenarios of your "truth" would point toward you having no conscience, an empty soul, and/or severely in need of therapy. But not tough love, as we went through. That would most likely turn you into a crazed lunatic. Perhaps you just need a hug, and a snot-bubble-filled crying session.
You seem to be very good at your job. From what I have seen, you have successfully turned attention away from students' pain filled postings, and into a Whooter bashing session. Bravo. If you are not a Sociopath, you certainly play one well here.
And as such, the above will be the last quote of yours I will use. I suggest others do the same. I came to this forum to express myself. To express my pain, for comfort from others and to comfort others.
However, if you or someone like you are going to portray the buzzing bee in the room, I can just find somewhere else to go. So you won. Congratulations. I hope you give yourself a big pat on the back. I'm sure you have driven many others away. You have done your job well. Just realize that those who see this and those you drive away eventually end up finding each other, "in droves", and take action on another platform, i.e. The Press, as in bad press, as in the worst nightmare for the Industry. Thank goodness for copy and paste. We can use you, with all your posts, as an appetizer of the ugly truth that is the abusive Troubled Teen Industry.
The money will eventually run out, and you, just as Alex, Bill, Sharon, and all of the others, will be "standing in the unemployment line", just like 80% of the rest of the country.
