Sherrie Campbell PhD – the go to family manipulator

Our power-holding family members always have their one “go to” person to help them manipulate. Whenever confronted by us, they cry to this person about the horrible and awful ways we have treated them. They play the shocked and helpless victim of our abuse.

The dramatic story they tell is far from the truth because what our abusers leave out are the facts on who started the conflict to begin with. They start conflict, get us to react, then delete what they did in the retelling of the story, incensing their trusted (and most easily manipulated) confidants to turn on us.

This puts us the position to be further abused by these confidants who have no idea that they are judging us on false facts and a person who rewrote history before involving them. Our relationships often end with these middle people who have no interest in hearing any other side than that of our family member who has already poisoned them. The teaching to take is to let them believe what they want. You have only lost a fool who will believe anything they hear without further research.

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 ..
