You are sweet. Thank you...but please don't feel as if you need to apologize. The treatment we were given was kept hidden for obvious reasons - and the fear that surrounded the situation kept it that way. It is difficult to share these experiences sometimes - yet liberating. Much of the pain, fear and recovery are realized through this site. I must believe that our sharing leads to understanding and healing. (Please check your email. I have also sent you a personal message.) Thank you again for your note. :) Liv

Stella lived in our unit (home) when I was a child at HQ. I will always remember her making me feel comfortable...and her smile. She drove one of those cars that everyone seemed to have in the 1980's...Citation...and would listen to Chicago and Phil Collins tapes in the car and in her room. She was going to make a trip back to Costa Rica (where she is from) and would record tv commercials so her family could see them. I would hang out with her now and then. I was always fond of her and glad to hear she is doing well.

I was raised at HQ and New Knoxville. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it more than I can express. Most will not understand why I am fond of the images. Most have other childhood memories, other towns they can visit, other people from their past they can still talk to and other landmarks they can still visit. It is like finding more childhood memories. I am thankful for the childhood I was given. I am thankful for the freedom of my adulthood. That was the last ROA I attended. May 1994 was the last month I lived at HQ.

internationalskiier, I would be glad to share what M&A is like. I will email you. Have a wonderful day! Liv

Hi, Did you mean me? I am here. I haven't been here in a while, though. I just happened to look up the Friend Tracker today and saw this post. Do we know each other? Have a wonderful day! Liv

I saw her brother, Larry, in August of 2001. I went to HS with them at NK. Anyhow, I believe he told me Monica was married and they were all still in at that time. I remember how kind he was to me although I had been M&A'd.
