It was a clean and spartan stay where I was able to divest myself of a lot of damage from what they did to me at Haven in Reading. I saw that a lot of people were quite happy there. I just wasn’t a good fit. And its probably a problem in the industry to handle situations and cases like mine. After all I had just gone through, i needed a little time before returning home. I had stayed too long at The Haven Hospital before this and was demanding an emergency discharge during the last couple of weeks that I was there. It felt like the walls were closing in.
Im just maxed out on psych stays. And sometimes, today, theses places do evil work.
Philhaven was a little different, a loving community like WSH was back in the 80’s. Actually I had hesrd of Philhaven during my first stay as at Wernersville. Two loving and intelligent people who befriended me there mentioned it a couple of times. I thought they were
talking about a partial program somewhere. It sounded so nice.
I guess its changed since then because people werent nice at all like my Wernersville friends who had been there. But, it was a clean, and well organized facility. I was just afraid they wouldn’t let me go because of the crazy things my 90 year old father was telling them. I got out of there with my life and I plan to keep it that way.
