Consider Children

Please don’t overlook the anxiety your children may be silently experiencing.

They pay attention way more than we give them credit for.

If you don’t talk politics, social movements, and the reality that things are probably going to significantly change in the near future, this might be a good time to start those conversations.

Regardless of what happens, they are going to grow up in a very different reality than we have. They are nostalgic for the 80s and 90s, thanks to current media.

My kids like to hear how much simpler times were back then, just like I used to reminisce with my family about the 50s and 60s, not taking into account the complex social changes and horrors that were happening during their formative years. 

I believe it will come as less of a shock to our younger ones if we continue to explain the changes we are facing in thoughtful dialogue. They will probably have many questions and we certainly do not have all the answers. I think that’s important to admit as well.

Without creating more overwhelm, please continue to pay attention and have empathy for those less fortunate. ❤️

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 ..
