Do not underestimate those who have encountered loss
For they are powerful survivors who remain standing
Do not underestimate those who have been rejected
For they have learned to never reject themselves
Do not underestimate those who have been abandoned
For they have learned to never abandon themselves
Do not underestimate those who have felt lonely
For they have learned to build a home within themselves
Do not underestimate those who have experienced failure
For they are better equipped to experience success
Do not underestimate those who have wrestled with insecurities
For they have made peace with themselves and their flaws
Do not underestimate those who have struggled
For they have made progress in spite of it
Do not underestimate those who have felt broken
For they have learned to heal themselves
And do not underestimate those whose lives have been shattered
For they have found the strength to rebuild
And it is those who have traveled to the deepest depths of life
Who may soar to the greatest heights.

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 ..
