Power hungry institutions that exert total control over their minions.

Maybe sad, but mostly just unfortunate. I guess I was lucky to have the wherewithal to recover in what I think is a meaningful way. I never and still don't resent my family, that is just the way they were taught to rear a child. My Church group and support was pretty good. I was the one that chose to be abrasive and destructive when I left.
