During the final days at the House, Kadie (or is it Katie?) pulled me in for an exit interview.  She wanted to know how I felt the programming, staff, and activities where helpful – what I thought was so ‘great’ about the House.  Really, it was just a self-serving BS interview.
One of those “tell me what you think — as long as it’s positive and promotes just how awesome we are.”
—  Don’t lie, but don’t tell the truth either.

I didn’t lie —  rather what I said was like an omen.
—  Being in education and the corporate world for over 20 years, there tends to be a pattern when a business – and make no mistake, Anorexia is a business, no matter how much it is clothed in Christianity.  And the House was showing signs of a great change – even if I couldn’t quite figure it out as a ‘client.’
During this farced interview, I shared my concerns with Kadie – the patterns I’ve noticed, the change of procedures, change in policy, tightness of the staff.
I – – specifically – – told Kadie that the changes will come disguised as “helping.”  Rather, it be helping others, helping spread Christianity, helping the business stay afloat, or providing staff with better opportunities and pay–  The more a business attempts to sugar-coat it, the worse I will be.

I told Kadie she’ll become tired, burnt-out, and resentful.  The pay will stay the same – or go up marginally – but she’ll receive twice as many clients.  Any type of enjoyment she receives from her job will wither – and it’ll show, no matter how she tries to hide it.   The patients have little do but to watch the body language of the staff – and a lot of them are very perspective.

They’ll -know,-maybe not what is going on, but the anxiety and hollowness of the staff.
How could that possibly help the anorexia clients?

Sad to say – my precognition was correct.  The first batches of changes have came through – but the staff was promised that there wouldn’t be any layoffs – everything will be just “better.” – to help people.

Although I’m not going into detail – as I don’t know anything 100% – I don’t need to know.   I felt it.  I knew it.   I saw it.  I just didn’t know how – but knew it would be soon.

I told you so – Kadie, Ms. Sherry, Sarah, – and anyone who’d listen to me.  I told you something like this would happen.

Good luck and gods bless.
