“When you look deep within
Beyond the surface pale
And the lined eyes,
Through the skein
Of fine lines that
Travel like tributaries
To your soul,
You might find
The wayward girl
you once knew…
The young girl lost
To the antics of living
Who bore you no ill will
But who couldn’t yet grasp
The magnitude of
Incremental action
Upon action
Upon action
Which creates the
Ultimate direction of
A troubled life.
You might find her,
Beneath the greeting
And the greying hair,
Beyond the freckled
Hands
And you might beckon
Her with forgiving heart
And loving arms
To welcome her into
The quiet, gorgeous room
With flowers and pink blossoms
With perfume and pretty things
With standing vases of
Bright poppies
And tulips –
Yes tulips –
And you will let her know
That finally, with you…
She is lived and loved
And she is home.”

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 ..
