Broken Heart
Today, I listened to a podcast that talked about coercive control. It sounds remarkably like how my mother behaves and how we all lined up for her.
Wise Old Woman
At some point, my goal was to become an old wise woman. Will I ever get there? Probably not. I’m a mess.

It must be summer. I’m thinking of my mom and turning that whole thing around in my brain again. Summer has become one of those times of years that has become increasingly triggering for me.

I witnesses a bullying incident at a local fast food place, that supposedly makes sandwiches to benefit firefighters, in the town I work in this week. I could tell it was something that was happening on several levels, whether it was blatant and transparent, to subtle aggression
LoA Realities
Listening to LoA podcasts, then to anti-cult podcasts because there’s a lot of crossover, particularly with the large group awareness training cults because so many of them fall into the LoA teachings, distorting them to make themselves wealthy and/or powerful while abusing people to keep them in and constantly paying.

All they know is that they are lonely and have needs they can’t fulfill within themselves, and they need to find someone outside of themselves to stop the loneliness.
