Wolves – Dr. Clarissa Pinkola

It is interesting to note that among wolves, no matter how sick, no matter how cornered, no matter how alone, afraid, or weakened, the wolf will continue. She will lope even with a broken leg. She will go near others seeking the protection of the pack. She will strenuously outwait, outwit, outrun and outlast whatever is bedevilling her. She will put her all into taking breath after breath.

She will drag herself, if necessary, from place to place till she finds a good place, a healing place a place for thriving.

The hallmark of the wild nature is that it goes on.

So, if women must, they will paint blue sky on jail walls. If the skeins are burnt they will spin more. If the harvest is destroyed they will sow more immediately. Women will draw doors where there are none and open them and pass through into new ways and new lives.

Because the wild nature persists and prevails, women persist and prevail.

~Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes

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 ..
