Sherrie Campbell PhD – The happy maker

Tuesday Teachings

In toxic family dynamics you are trained to believe that for the family to be happy, it is up to you to make it that way. You are manipulated to believe that the moods of other people are yours to manage. You are trained to believe that the only way for you to be happy is for you to make them happy.

These family members certainly won’t take any accountability when you start stepping away from them because they never took any responsibility for the relationship in the first place. That was your job.

You can fire yourself from that job immediately. There is no way to have a healthy relationship with an emotionally manipulative person. No one else should have to be the center of your universe before you get a turn to focus on your own happiness.

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 ..
