Linda Tirado on the realities of living in bootstrap America: daily annoyances for most people are catastrophic for poor people.

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 πŸ₯

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.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
