Walking away

Love isn’t the issue. It never was.

People walk away from relationships not because they stop loving, but because they get tired of trying alone. Love can only do so much when one person is carrying all the weight, doing all the work, and holding things together while the other just assumes they’ll always be there.

You can love someone deeply and still feel lonely next to them. You can love them and still feel unheard, unseen, unappreciated. Love doesn’t replace effort. It doesn’t make up for broken promises, empty apologies, or the times they made you feel like you were asking for too much; when all you wanted was to feel valued.

Relationships don’t fail because love disappears. They fail because effort does. Because someone stops choosing the other. Because comfort turns into neglect.

So if you want to keep love alive, don’t just say it; show it. Be consistent, be present, and make them feel like they matter.

Because at the end of the day, love without effort is just a beautiful excuse.

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 ..
