Raising children who do not need healing

A child never forgets the sound of being made to feel small.

Not the finger pointed in their face.

Not the shame that wraps around their little heart like a storm.

Not the silence they retreat into just to feel safe.

This isn’t discipline. This is damage.

quiet, invisible, and lasting.

Behind every angry outburst is a lesson being written in their soul:

“I am not enough.”

“I am unlovable.”

“I have to earn peace.”

And that child grows up—

Still flinching at loud voices, still craving softness,

Still carrying battles they never chose.

Discipline without dignity isn’t strength.

Raise them with words they won’t need to heal from.

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 ..
