Pretty interesting, I haven't read through the whole thing yet.

Interesting! I usually hang out on /raisedbynarcissists over there (a depressingly large overlap with cult behaviors), but I will definitely check this out. Thanks!

I read through one of the first stories and it involved a foreign exchange student from Germany being hosted by a very religious family that treated him terribly. As someone who has hosted foreign exchange students and been a foreign exchange student, I think it's a fantastic program. Shame on people that use it as a means of missionary work!

There is also a new thread on the front page about growing up in a polygaist family.
