Community

In the Babemba tribe of South Africa, when someone does something harmful, the tribe puts the person in the center of the village surrounded by their community… For two days, every member reminds the person of all the wonderful things they have accomplished… This tribe believes that every human being is fundamentally good: each of us wants nothing but security, love, peace and happiness…

But sometimes people make mistakes and the community sees them as a cry for help… They then unite to support him, to help him renew his true colors, to remind him who he really is, until he perfectly remembers the truth from which he had been temporarily unplugged: “I’m good.”

Hold on to what you hear! ”

NABAJYOTISAIKIA is a compliment used in South Africa which means:

‘I respect you… I cherish you … You matter to me… ”

In response, people say SHIKOBA, which means, “So, I exist for you… ”

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 ..
