Heads up, it takes 20 years to correct bad credit .

I was disposed of without credit, as if I never existed.

Made responsible for my own legal and medical 🏥

I woke to what 3 men decided was in my best interest .

ownership of money, history/facts children , while I

” played the mental patient ” which justifies the legal

rape that leaves disadvantaged , in the dust .

Catching up, my health, my mind, my life , in my late

Fifties the debts from medical, homeownership,

repeated moves , thanks to my abuser .

The game of hanging on to a reputation , forsaking a partner

in order to take all that entitled affluence feels is due them.

Its always someone else’s responsibility.

Unfortunately , accepted as the way of societies who

are accepting of power and money over individuals

who create a dumping ground in one , life long

avoidance of responsibility .. Totally unjust , however

those who do so have a spotlight on em..

Teachings or legacy for our children / grandkids is

not going to be based on the lies of brotherhoods

that erase families without merit . Basically for the

win.
