Coffeecup-
I can totally relate to your last statement, I too was in CP over 20 yrs ago but still have many a nights with upsetting dreams due to my time in CP. I was there during my very formative years (18-19). The life lessons and hardships I went through during that year in a half have made me who I am today. So, in a way, I a very thankful & I can see how the sovereign hand of God used it in my life to literally get me where I am today. The town I live in today is because of a friendship I formed in CP.I met some wonderful, beautiful people, still some of my favorite people to date.
I also met sexual predators (and was preyed upon) & experienced manipulative & emotionally abusive unit leaders.
I have often thought that I was probably to only person that still thinks & has dreams about my time in CP that was is in it so long ago, it is a comfort to know that their are others.
Blessings to all- Joyous
