Bachman Treatment Home?

Am I the only one that did a double-take at the offhand mention in this article that Michelle Bachman's house served as a "treatment home" for girls with EDs, in addition to other foster kids?  One of those "who woulda thunk it" factoids I guess.  I am NOT a fan of her by a longshot, but I won't get all political on you here.

Also, while you're over at NYT, I highly recommend this article:

Hey! I just started reading your blog and it resonates so much with me. I don't want to get too specific but many things you put into words go through my mind on a daily basis, I'm just afraid to admit it. I'll keep reading if you keep writing. Good Luck!

Wow, thank you so much for the link about Marsha Linehan! Today I've definitely needed a reassurance that someone who has been mentally ill IS able to help others. Thank you thank you thank you. And have a nice weekend! ***

I did read that about the Bachmans. I am not sure how I feel - it seems in some way noble, but you can be sure they were pushing hard core christianity on the girls, which doesn't feel right. Thank you for checking in with me! I hope you are getting better. xoxo
