Unhealthy family – Sherrie Campbell PhD

The unhealthy family relationships we were forced to be a part of rooted us in dysfunction. Instead of learning and growing to understand and live functionally, our only choice was to learn to function in the dysfunction.

We lived in the gauntlet of getting our limits unfairly tested. The limits of what we could endure was tested. How generously we would forgive was taken advantage of, and how much abuse we would be willing to overlook was pushed beyond what any of us should have had to tolerate.

At each turn, our very humanity was being totally dishonored and compromised. This is not love. This is not family. This is abuse.

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 ..
