Tears/Cry Let ‘em flow

Someone asked me how to dry their tears one day…

I said to let them flow

I meant let them pour like a storm

Because all drying tears prematurely ever did for me was create more later

Being sad and crying when we need to is as important for us as choosing to be happy

When did suppression of emotion become our new normal anyway

When did we start to say that how we felt didn’t matter and should be hidden

When did we put on new masks to cover old masks

I know for me it was very early in life

I was told crying was selfish and made other people’s lives harder, it made my mothers life harder

What rubbish

My mother made her own life harder through her choice of how she viewed it

What I needed to be the purest expression of myself, and that meant being allowed to accept all of myself, tears included

Crying doesn’t hurt you

Not crying can hurt you a lot

I once cried for seven hours

I’m still breathing

I still chose to be happy the next day

So when you need to, let the tears go

They dry when their purpose is met

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 ..
