Never Again

She’s been the girl who was lied to.

She’s been the girl who was manipulated, cheated on, and accused of doing things the other person was doing the entire time.

She was gaslight so hard she questioned what colour the ocean was.

She’s been the girl who gave chances on top of chances because she knows change doesn’t happen overnight.

She’s begged for counselling, pleaded for effort, and shown more patience than you couldn’t even begin to imagine.

She even changed the way she communicated to adapt to what someone else needed.

She buried her complaints and kept her feelings to herself so she could keep the peace.

She’s twisted her boundaries so much to try and make things work with other people she shouldn’t have given the time of day in the first place.

She used to do all those things so she could have peace of mind, but when she finally walked away, she knew she had done everything in her power to try to make things work.

And what she knows now is that every single time she did that …. all she was doing was showing people how they could treat her and still stick around.

And looking back, she can say with total confidence that not once was it worth it.

So she will never do it again.

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 ..
