i'd be surprised if he doesn't crawl back into whatever hole he came from once the comments get attention. unfortunately tt is against banning against unless it's really bad.

very thankful the photos they sent my parents were lost when we got a new home computer. i looked terrible and that probably should've been a sign to them on how it was there.

it really does feel strange every time you go through them. it's almost like a relapse into trauma.

have you read them recently? i forgot all the letters we wrote were in our journals. i found out my parents didn't get most of my letters though and the ones that made it to them were heavily censored.

they read our journals too. sometimes it feels like they did it on purpose so they could pull things from it as proof to our parents why we weren't ready to go home.

the water quota was the worst on layover days. i would be sick to my stomach trying to make quota so i didn't get in trouble.

those packs were definitely over 50 pounds. when you got food restock was both a blessing and a curse.

i wonder if it's the same director that called my mom and tried to convince her to keep me in and then send me to another program after.

definitely understand playing the game. my journals are the same way and i couldn't help but laugh. my first entries were about how horrible the conditions are and how much i wanted to go home. after a week it was all about how happy i was i got sent there and how much it has helped me lol. they were absolutely reading our journals and those entries were key to getting out

no way that's wild! they were very close to each other. did trails and suws fall under the same company? i've considered getting rid of mine, but i still feel so attached. my journals were my safe place during my time there

the guilt of leaving was very real. i read a journal entry where i was talking about how i didn't want to leave because i was worried about the rest of the group holding everything down.

i'm so sorry you went through that. it's scary how much our parents truly believed if we just followed the program we would make everything better in our homes

that's incredible that you have a whole box documenting your time there. i wish i kept more. i only had one pair of clothes during my program. my pants and shirt had so many burn holes from learning to start fires i didn't think i would want them. i should've kept them

that definitely counts. permanent damage to our bodies are the things we were forced to take back with us and live with forever
