She spoke to the teachers
they told her to sit
to wait for her turn
and to speak with respect
She spoke to her parents
they told her to try
to never give up
to work hard and strive
She spoke to her friends
they told her to change
to act more like them
to stop being strange
She spoke to her self
she wondered what’s wrong?
why don’t I fit in?
why cant I belong?
And finally when
her exhaustion was high
she wandered bereft
out into the night.
She spoke to the moon
and the stars let her see
you’re already enough
why can’t you just be?
You sparkle with life
you’re so full to the brim
why worry about
the need to fit in?
You’re made of pure sunlight
with so much to share
don’t walk down the same road
you’re not going there…

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 ..
