Taking stock of self

” And one morning we get up… We’re thirty, forty, and soon to be fifty…

We realize that the years have passed at full speed, that they have left us with a few wrinkles in the corners of our eyes.

And the clock continues to tick, at full speed…

So we take stock!

We think back to the people we have more or less known,

To those who counted,

Those who left too soon and whom we regret,

Those who made us laugh or cry…

We remember the moments of happiness,

To those in which we felt alone and

to the dreams we had…

We see that everyone has traced their own path,

Some better than others,

But it is at this moment that we realize that there are several stages in a life.

Each of these stages is different,

Each one has a particular taste and smell,

And to each we assimilate faces,

Names, memories.

Hatreds and loves…

This is what life really is:

A succession of memories…”

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 ..
