Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, but I've been out of town. This is Pamela Atkinson.

Your mom seemed really retticent to explain why you had left the house, but by the time you were out of the house, I had almost completely given up on going to the meetings. They were so superficial. Everyone was trying so hard to make it look like everything was going perfectly. I brought up some of my problems with the program and people looked at me like I was crazy.

Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with deciding to continue self-injury, or deciding to stop. I don't cut anymore, not because I grew out of it, but perhaps because I grew past it. Either way, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, as long as you're careful.

I'm really curious what the petition was about. Is there any chance you could go into detail about it in an email?

I am still astounded at how much Rom lied to everyone. Thank you for sharing.

Investigating WWASP schools disseddad December 30 2008, 03:50:25 UTC

My son was sent to Horizon Academy by his mother in October of this year. I have begun to investigate Horizon and the WWASP and have noticed that they make claims including (a) having a vigorous curriculum, and (b) having therapists available to the students. Of course, none of their web sites offer the names and credentials of either their teachers or their therapists. I read somewhere in the anti-WWASP literature that there are no therapists employed at the programs, and if there were, they would be under a legal obligation to report any abuse--be it physical or psychological. Therefore, I am very curious about your posting because you mention that you had a very good relationship with one of your therapists. I am curious to know whether you discussed the seminar series with the therapist and what his or her take was on the seminars. Also, I am wondering how to find the credentials of the staff. Thank you for your time. I am sorry that you had to through this program and I hope that you recover from the bad parts of it. Good ( ... )
