The storm outside of me

There are times in your life, where you must be a lighthouse.

Where you must stand still and boldly within the storm,
letting the waves crash before you,
but continuing to shine your light brightly in the darkness –

  • for the only effective response to darkness
    is to increase your light –

and choose to keep your head above the storm
and let your heart whisper
with the echo of each heartbeat:

“The storm outside of me
does not shake me or defeat me
for that which I truly am
can never be destroyed.”

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 ..
