I finished the doc last night, and between tears and anger and probably too much to drink I came to a conclusion: I have to make my mom watch this, and I really REALLY need her to understand this time. I don't need her to feel bad for what she did, but I do need her to acknowledge that NO that place did NOT help me. It traumatized me into losing myself, and I've still yet to get the old me back. It showed me I couldn't trust anyone and that those you do trust will abandon you when you need them, contributing heavily to my now lifelong struggle with BPD. I just want her to be on my side, our side, the side of the kids, and not brainwashed anymore. So we're sitting down today to talk, I'm gonna ask her to watch it (maybe even rewatch myself if I can handle it), and we'll see what happens.

Is anyone else using "The Program" to segue into a bigger conversation about TTI with your family?
