Honestly is essential for Intimacy – Sherrie Campbell PhD

Totally is for me , and that’s an absolute …

Not sorry either .. It’s sadly been MIA from far too many relationships ..

Because honesty is the highest form of intimacy, it makes sense why peaceful connections don’t occur in highly dysfunctional family systems. There is zero honesty. These families are plagued with lies, selfishness, false narratives, divide-and-conquer gang-ups and scapegoating. There is no love, just demands.

Without honesty, no one is safe aside from the most dominate toxic person/people. They force the entire system to function around their dysfunction by inducing fears of rejection in all other members.

In these families, what is valued by the most toxic person isn’t connection, but control. Control and being able to manipulate everyone else to follow along like sheep is intoxicating to them. Honesty could never bring them this type of satisfaction in the ways they crave. This is a sick system, and you have every right to liberate yourself from it .

I had this picture hanging in my bedroom , and she brought me so much joy 😊❤️

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 ..
