Do not call us fragile

We are the daughters of men who broke their own hearts before the world had a chance to. Men who taught us that love could be a wound long before it became a song.

We are the daughters of mothers

whose own mothers whispered:

“Be still, be soft, be something small,

so men will want to play with you.”

But they bore us instead, iron-clad and restless. Their defiance braided into our hair.

Our wombs are not temples of waiting. Our bodies do not beg for sanctuaries. We have bled rivers of resilience, each drop a hymn to survival. When the world sought to name us fragile, we broke their tongues and dared them to define strength.

We are the daughters of women who were never given gardens but grew forests from ash.Women who learned to wield fire. Their shadows cast long and fierce over the faces of oppressors, whispering, “We are here.”

Our laughter is rebellion.

Our tears, a language older than war.

We walk with the weight of ancestors, their sacrifices sewn into our skin. Their dreams sprouting like wildflowers in the marrow of our bones.

Do not call us fragile.

We are storms that leave no sky untouched. Earthquakes that shift tectonic souls. We are the breaking and the remaking.The echo and the origin.

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 ..
