Sex Offender: My Father's Secrets, My Secret Shame

Product Information

There are some people who have come to the group while their loved one was in the prison system. They continue when their loved one comes home because it doesn’t stop the day they come home. It continues. The support that your group provides is helping a lot of families deal with the things that happen when somebody comes home because they’ve been institutionalized. It’s not the same person. It’s so important for the success of the family and for that person. Thank you so much. Talking about families, there’s another group led by Alexis along with her mother and sometimes her son. Alexis, can you tell us a little bit about that group? Prison Families Alliance: We understand as few others can. We are not responsible for our grown children. They make the decisions they make, and as a parent, you do the best you can.

It’s a wonderful group. The skills that you’re providing to them are so helpful because a lot of times, they don’t have anybody to talk to. It’s not only can they come to a group where there’s a trained facilitator. They also have other kids that they can talk to so they can learn from each other and see that they’re not alone and also how different kids handle different situations. That’s important. We feel the anger. Sometimes, we’re very angry. We’re not only angry at the system, but we’re angry at the person who put us into position. This is not how we hoped to live our lives. Through no fault of our own, someone has thrust us into a system that we don’t want to be a part of. We feel angry. We allow people to feel those feelings. We try to share that we all have the right to have feelings. We can vent and speak to one another without any fear of being judged. Whatever we say stays here. Wakefield, Margery.

Retrieved July 25, 2016.Owen argues that Hubbard likely suffered from venereal disease, writing: "Sulfa drugs were used in treatment but in excess could cause bloody urine, something which Hubbard's shipmate Thomas Moulton saw him passing on at least one occasion. Hubbard himself later complained about the amount of sulfa he had been fed in the Navy. Former Scientology spokesman Robert Vaughn Young claims that Hubbard's private papers refer to him having caught gonorrhoea from a girlfriend named Fern, which forced him to secretly take sulfa."
