Family & Festive Seasons

The festive season can bring severe boundary breaches, if your family situation is complicated, toxic or just hard. And it can create such a sense of dread, of overwhelm. But remember this, dear one, you are the creator of your life. You are not bound by any legality to the old. Traditions do not have to be continued, if their legacy does not promote love. You can start anew. Someone somewhere has to. Say no, if your gut is twisting with discomfort. Start another, that allows everyone to come as they are, and be accepted in the same way. We are the moment in time, in our family lines. So be that. Create that. If you cannot bear what is, make it better.

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 ..
