Becky's post is the epitome of "over sharing".
Some things about one's child, should NOT be posted on social media.
If anyone was sent away to this type of camp, it should have been Becky. She needs it.
She will stop at nothing......to feed her ego, boost her followers count, put another dollar in her pocket.
Shame on Becky!

My BS meter went off immediately when I read the vague bios of the counselors. Even some names sounded uniquely Mormon. Also the counselor who helps with 'sexual issues'. Then I found this on Reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/troubledteens/comments/lmu3v9/looking_for_information_about_anasazi/
I doubt this is ran by the Mormon church, but yet these full tithe paying, temple recommend holding MEMBERS continue to stay in good standing. If you question why women can't have the priesthood or why untrained adult men (bishops) are allowed to ask teens questions of a sexual nature you are excommunicated.
I am truly worried about her daughter.

I wish I could take Claire to an ex-Mormon support group and see if it opens her eyes a bit to what her mother is doing, whether she chooses to leave the church or not is her decision but I hope that some day she can understand another way of thinking if she isn't already looking for it

My opinion of this is that her post is so inappropriate. Like gross. It kinda made me really upset. Monetizing her kid's life. Just disgusting. |

I'm catching up with the BH thread and boy, that was not a good way to begin my Monday morning. Le fuque. Thank you, refugeepea, for posting the link to the Reddit discussion about the camp BH sent her daughter to. It's vile and dangerous. There are testimonies of survivors of this camp and they're difficult to read. Suicidal thoughts, mental health decline, overall traumatic experience. I feel extremely sorry for Claire. Being used by your mother for social media clout is one thing, being forced into an environment of religious indoctrination, LGBTQ+ suppression and hatred, complete cut-off from the outside world and loss of control, is such a terrible thing. I hope she pulls through and doesn't find herself battling extra demons after this experience but I doubt it. I cannot find it in myself to buy any Becky Higgins product ever again. And I refuse to purchase any American Crafts digital files since I'd be lining Becky's pockets directly too (AC Digitals is managed by Becky Higgins LLC) which is less pleasant as I've relied on these for years now. I cannot support this. This is horrible. |

Everyone in the comments is just lapping it right up. One person asked why she and David decided to give Claire that experience but I haven't seen anyone mention how dangerous the "program" is. Can't help but wonder if those are being deleted, or they're just not there....

No one had anything negative so say about the camp itself or BH's outrageously gross monetizing of her daughter's trauma?!? If she's been gone 8 weeks, doesn't that coincide to right when Porter had his big mission announcement party? |

What an absolute attention who’re. She also said pride month was now something special to her no another post. I’m wondering if they tried to wilderness the gay out of Claire. I honestly thought she did that to emulate Heidi Swapp. I believe Heidi Swapp means it when she says she wants everyone to feel welcome at their home. I think Heidi Swapp might have other reasons, but that's my personal feeling. I won't buy her products anymore for my own reasons. I really hope Becky's daughter comes out of this OK. It scares me to think what some people do to their children in the name of religion. It's downright abuse. |

I hope Beggy knows you can't be fake-pro LGBTQIA in a post and then turn right around and send your daughter to a very anti LGBTQIA camp.
Doesn't work that way...
And it sucks that people blindly keep sniffing up her BS. (BS = beggy shit ?)

There were a few people who said that they tried to get their sons to go to the camp, but they refused - I'd love to hear what the sons have to say about it. I didn't think about Porter's party though, that timing is interesting. |

She's already exploiting. Telling how she wrote letters to Claire, about how journaling is encouraged as part of the program, and reminding people to document. Oh and BTW she has a course all about documenting dontcha know?

I just saw this. She calls her their "warrior daughter" and how Claire made a "gathering bag" to hold all of that crap "on the trail with her own two hands and without a pair of scissors. She rocks my world." She says documenting during that program is "no accident," just as that contrived photos of Claire holding her "gathering bag" to be exploited later was no accident either. That poor child. |

  She should not link to her personal account in her business account. She should not post her daughter's story for likes. She should not have sent her daughter away to a brainwashing camp. After doing that she should not go to Costa Rica. What is Claire needed to leave? What if she was injured? Also don't say it was hard for you. You left the country and had an adventure bonding trip with your oldest son and husband. (tangent where was the youngest son?) Argh she makes me so angry. I hope Claire finds peace and gets through her the probably normal challenges of being a teenager. |

Gotta tell y’all, with a very sensitive child still at home, this has been very triggering for me. I’ve held my son just a little tighter these last few days.
He turns 18 in February amd we honestly have no plans to push him out of the nest just yet. We’re hoping to get him to community college amd keep him home for 5ish more years. We have enough rental houses to put him in one should he want to live independently. He lost his doggo last week amd my heart has hurt so much watching him struggle with that. I can’t even imagine sending him away to some boot camp to toughen him up. He’s delicate and I’m ok with that. He’s also trans, gay, and possibly pan as he likes all genders and likes to show love to all people. I’ve actually been looking for an lgbtq camp for him because he needs to have more people in his village.

How in the world was she sending letters each week if she's out of the country?!?!? Who is available to get Claire if there is a true emergency? |

Thank you, refugeepea, for posting the link to the Reddit discussion about the camp BH sent her daughter to. It's vile and dangerous. It wasn't until recently I heard about a camp very much like this ran in Hawaii where they picked pineapples and it was ran by return missionaries. It ended in the late 90's. The similarities are striking, except this one IS NOT punitive! Anyway, there were two men that brought a suit against the church (WAS church ran) because of being sexually abused by a counselor. There really is not a large number of members, but I felt gross reading about the leader of the AZ camp being from Southeastern Idaho, just like the accused counselor in Hawaii. In that same area there was a giant sex abuse scandal with a scout leader. |

We have enough rental houses to put him in one should he want to live independently. You take your "sweet" time with him, mama. 18 is a deadline that some kiddos really look forward to when they cannot wait to break away from the parental home and life. But it's just a symbolic number. While I know it's far more common in the US for teenagers to move out at 18 when they go to college/uni, I just want to remind you that it isn't necessarily the norm around the world. In Mediterranean Europe, it's very common for children to stay at home as they pursue their education and even as they begin to work. As long as everyone is happy with the situation and that this gives the young adult an opportunity to step gradually into autonomy at first and independence eventually, it can be a wonderful thing. Stability and familial love can be great anchors, too. Embrace it and enjoy it! |

But neither of us are confident with that decision. She has a job, she's good with her money, and saved enough to go to Disney World in December. I am okay with the situation. My oldest...oye!! My husband and I are both in agreement it's good he's home so he can pay us money back quicker.  I've wrote vaguely about his issues on the NSBR board, but since he was a teen, I do not post his photo anywhere unless I get his permission because he asked me not to. It's not hard now, because I deleted my Facebook account.  Not going to lie, I really want his room as my craft room. Oh the joy of having a closed door and great afternoon sun! |

Bwahaha, I burst out laughing at your last sentence...  Families live together differently and that's totally ok. I'm really not shocked by adult children still living at home or parents moving in with one of their children as they age and face some difficulties (or want to be present daily for the grandkids). Community takes on many faces. Sometimes, that's a multi-generational home.  (But darn about that hypothetical sunny craft room!) |

We’re hoping to get him to community college amd keep him home for 5ish more years. This sounds like a great plan. If he's not ready to leave and you are a safe space for him, he should stay. I heard about a camp for teens like your son, let me see if I can find the info on it. I believe it's in the SF Bay Area, but I can't remember now. |

Stability and familial love can be great anchors, too. Embrace it and enjoy it! Thank you for the validation. I tell myself all the time that there aren’t some set of rules or a trophy for getting your kid to a certain milestone. This child of mine didn’t hit any of the baby/toddler milestones either. He’s too intelligent to be considered “slow” but not “fast” enough to be on par with his peers. He is who he is and I love him for That. I’m sorry to drag it out here but Becky truly makes me ill as do any parent who punishes their child for daring to step out of the boundary of “normal”. My in laws are super competitive and their kids are the smartest most popular and in every sport known to man snd of course the best on the team. We’ve distanced ourselves because it’s too hard to watch the pressure they put on their kids plus their kids aren’t very nice to mine because he’s not like them. They give my college kid the attention and curtesy-because she fits that mold of “normal”. So yeah, we’re very protective of the boy. As you saw sleepingbooty last week his doggo died and that’s manifested into being actually sick because he’s been so upset. So I’m super emotional right now. Thank you for your compassion. |

I am getting the feeling I am missing something here…did BH daughter come out as homosexual? No but Becky has posted that pride this year meant something to her, as well as more pix with Heidi swapp (who’s son committed suicide). Then the camp with Claire. It’s all very suspect. I will admit I didn’t read her post too closely. “Journaling fixes everything” makes me vomit. |
