I leave at 10 tomorrow morning, and will get into Vegas about 2:30 MDT (gaining 2 hours). Then the 2 hour drive to Utah.
I will be at the school at 8:00 am on Wednesday, and our flight out of Vegas it about 3 pm, so I'm hoping to leave by 11, and that shouldn't be a problem. 'B' plans on meeting with Katie and I, and they will get her stuff for us to pack up, and we are out of there. No goodbyes or anything - because we are pulling her we are effectively cut off from the program.
After almost three years, $150, we run out of money and that is it. No support, no access to the BBS, no more seminars, nothing. No reunion keys, no staffing. I don't like it, but it is our choice.
I am not happy about the lack of support for any transition plan from them, but am very grateful for the support we have gotten from local familes we have met through the program. I had really hoped to hav gotten past PC III, to see what we could learn there, and get the free family coaching. But none of that - in 44 hours we are on our own.
We have a home contract, and I think it will work. Her older brother has been working on her room - though he will be VERY busy the next two days to get it cleaned out completely - he had wanted it done last week but as is typical is waiting to the very last minute.
I'm taking Thursday off work since it is her first day home, to help a little with the transition. I have no idea how many clothes she will have from the school - I know she only has one other outfit, that we bought here during our pass before Christmas last year. So that is one of the first things - to get her clothes because after all, she has lost about 30 lbs since she was home over three years ago.
It will be a big change having her home - she hasn't lived here for the past 39 months (except for one week, she left in May of 2005).
I have to hope for the best, and stay strong and live by our values.

awwwww thats almost sad... hahhhaha. too bad thats what these programs do. suck you dry and drop you when you run out of money. now dont you feel stupid??? you were the sucker. as a kid who graduated casa by the sea, another wwasp program shut down due to abuse both mentally and physically, this doesnt really suprise me. i hope to hell your kid forgives you tho. took me years to forgive my parents. and i still fully dont. its kind of sick you have a whole internet blog on keeping your child in a abuse camp... anyways im glad you got your child out of there and be open when they come to you telling you of abuse.
