Heads up, it takes 20 years to correct bad credit .
I was disposed of without credit, as if I never existed.
Made responsible for my own legal and medical π₯
I woke to what 3 men decided was in my best interest .
ownership of money, history/facts children , while I
” played the mental patient ” which justifies the legal
rape that leaves disadvantaged , in the dust .
Catching up, my health, my mind, my life , in my late
Fifties the debts from medical, homeownership,
repeated moves , thanks to my abuser .
The game of hanging on to a reputation , forsaking a partner
in order to take all that entitled affluence feels is due them.
Its always someone else’s responsibility.
Unfortunately , accepted as the way of societies who
are accepting of power and money over individuals
who create a dumping ground in one , life long
avoidance of responsibility .. Totally unjust , however
those who do so have a spotlight on em..
Teachings or legacy for our children / grandkids is
not going to be based on the lies of brotherhoods
that erase families without merit . Basically for the
win.
