It’s a really heavy read. If you’re not in a good place mentally, I’d really advise against it.
This story isn’t unique and a lot of programs for people in a rough place were designed around this kind of tough love - they started out mostly as cult like organizations for adults who had repeated difficulty stopping self-destructive behavior (Synanon was a notable example) and then at some point some asshole figured out they would try it on kids. If you ever have kids never trust programs like this…
But yea, if you’re getting ill reading it it’s probably not healthy to continue and that’s alright.
I just spent my whole day off reading this. I feel ill. I have heard about this “school” before, but I never knew the full extent of it.
