Christmas – Your Way

If you haven’t sent cards this year, or planned the perfect gifts.

If you don’t have the perfect tree or the perfect family, for a perfect festive photograph.

It’s okay.

If you don’t feel like watching your favourite Christmas movies,

and you can’t source the energy to be merry and bright.

That’s perfectly okay too.

No one should be measuring your ‘festive’.

It must not become a badge of honour.

Just hang on in there, finding any joy you can, in any little way.

And remove guilt and pressure, from your already overloaded Christmas list.

Because no matter how sparkly your advent, you can feel the sentiments of the season.

Your way.

Peace, love and goodwill to all.

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 ..
