Hello. People now know me as Mela, but when I attended Cross Creek Manor from January 26, 1999 through February 10, 2002 (36 months, 2 weeks, and 5 hours of pure Hell,) people knew me as Pam. I am a program graduate. As of 2005, I live in a house with a good friend I met in the program, her husband, and some other non-program friends. We own the

i went to ivy ridge, in NY...maybe we should talk, i think i'd like to know how the program helped you, cuz im still a fuck up.

The program itself didn't help me as much as the people I met there. I met quite a few girls (and a couple of staff) who cared A LOT and through their compassion and caring, helped me to become a better person. I got better in spite of the program, not because of it.

mm hmm

That's because the program doesn't help you; it makes you worse...
It infuses guilt into your being for the sole purpose of fishing it out by means of brainwashing seminars so you can appear "fixed" and actually feel "fixed" for a time being, until you ultimately realize that you were duped and never felt that remorseful about the socially unnacceptable things that you did beforehand.

oh man, let me tell you, my parents wasted so much money on me there.
I went away to college a year after getting out, and i became an alsohol, failed out of Western Michigan, and dropped out a comm. college..... That's like 30,000 dollars worth of dammage that i did after i got back.. It just shows that that place did nothing for anyone except tell us that we were all fucked if we didnt do what they said. Fuckers. I hated every second there. I got duct taped to a chiar and nearly 3 broken ribs from that place. Right now I'm rolling balls and I'm wasting your time by having you read this. But I like to share with other people who have seen what goes on and hate it just as much. Thanks for listening...
