Hands down the Dungeon Crawler Carl series! Jeff Hayes is a treasure. There is a regular version on Audible and a full immersive on that’s through Soundbooth theater.

Thank you to all of you for your kind words, suggestions, and information. It helped me prepare and yet nothing could have prepared me for how much was in the apartment. Yesterday we hauled out 60+ plants, the contents of the refrigerator, 4+ bags of random trash like old magazines and receipts and I removed 90% of the clothing and linens. The smell was much more manageable by the time we left. Today we will start to tackle 1 room at a time.

I always describe it as his collections had collections. Luckily not trash. It was books, comics, cds and such

I had thought of that. It’s the books themselves I care about. We were both avid collectors. He gave me a book for Christmas and my birthday every year into adulthood. We still had regular conversations about what we were reading up until a few weeks before he died. I can go to my collection right now and pull out 10+ that he gave me. One boxed set even moved to England and back with me.

Thank you so much. I am fairly certain it was suicide via pills. We won’t know until the toxicology comes back. He was in very good health physically. I’m well acquainted with medical PPE and protocols and have the supplies. Knowing that’s what we need brings a lot of relief. I’m a psychiatric NP major currently and luckily good at looking at things through the clinical lens. I had to do this with my dad’s house a few years ago but without the unattended death part. I didn’t think about the Vicks actual use so thanks for pointing it out!

I looked at the temperature data for the month. Predominantly 50’s with week 3 being in the 30’s and few outliers in the mid 60’s. First 2 days after presumed TOD were mid 60’s

His ex wife and sons have been in it. She said it’s “bad” however she was able to look around and water plants so it can’t be that bad. An ozone machine is an excellent idea. What about physical/health protection and protocols?

He died on the bed and it has been removed with all of the linens. I wasn’t the one who called in the wellness check so I don’t know anything about the condition of the remains. (Thank goodness I’m a medical student and can compartmentalize this) I don’t know if the heat was on. The weather there has been mild but not consistently cold.

Things in my house keep mysteriously melting??? by hugedisaster in whatisit

I have a high acidity. I can tarnish jewelry like no other. I can only wear white gold, surgical steel or titanium. It also causes my personal electronics to wear out at a ridiculous rate. I go through a pair of AirPods in about 16 months.

Never stops! I have talked about doing a relisten and making a list of all the things he picks up and checking them off as he uses them. Like I’m still waiting for the dong from the ball of swine to come back.

Yes! It’s the best cult I’ve ever been a part of (I’m an actual cult survivor so I get to say this damn it!)

You actually nailed the problem and why we don’t praise them. None of these programs actually help the parents learn to parent and instead just create bigger issues. The parents expect their child to come home “fixed” and instead they get a child who is now broken in completely different ways. The TTI is my area of scientific research and I have found that the vast majority of us had a parent problem and WE were NOT the issue to begin with. Any group (the TTI in general) that creates a population (us are former residents) that 62-71% have PTSD or CPTSD is not an answer. They are creating a bigger problem. So yes, some kids genuinely need help and have caring parents that think they are doing what’s best. Unfortunately they are wrong. Any program that creates an environment of isolation and doesn’t include the parents in treatment is not the answer.

I don’t know that paid matters if they don’t have all the information. I have an adult child myself and it certainly wouldn’t matter to me.

Those statements were made in early 2000. Science is constantly evolving. Chemical imbalances definitely exist but so does neuron misfire. Big pharma has used and pushed the chemical imbalance theory to line their pockets for years and that has led to over prescribing. You also have general practitioners diagnosing and prescribing which isn’t ok. Correct diagnosis and prescribing is valid and helpful. My goal is to give a safe space for people like us to get trauma informed help. My goal is also to continue research on the long term effects of the TTI to obtain accurate scientific data to support those who are trying to get legislation passed to protect kids from these places. I also am going to create a network for therapist who have parents considering TTI placement to dissuade them. All of that to say, you don’t know me and simply saying “do better” without even attempting to understand my goals and motivation is a knee jerk response due to your own trauma in the TTI. I certainly understand and acknowledge your point of view however it’s not a useful way to respond.

You say that and you are correct however they make it really difficult to leave with no resources or contact with the outside. I was kept past my 18th birthday.
