My Child Speaks
and the dark angel gave the white angel a feather from his wing, the only thing to destroy him, could she use it............
I, too, swallowed a monster when I was a child. Now, decades later, I have barely begun to reclaim my life and my world and to find some peace of heart and mind and soul. Even now, I find that trauma of any sort, such as the natural disaster my US state of AL just experienced, throws me spinning into that place of darkness so familiar from the days of hiding in cabinets, barns, under sinks, to avoid the man who would control the next four decades of my life through PTSD. I did not report to the authorities, and no adult in my life acted on my behalf in this regard. This person was an award-winning 6th-grade teacher who the community praised and respected. Sexual predators are many among us, and are very rarely caught. Even when found guilty in a court of law, the sentences are light and rehabilitation non-existent. One thing I know: The anger will destroy you from the inside-out if you don't find a way to release it. It took me decades to find a balance. For most of my life, I have been a staunch activist and advocate for those who have no voice. Fighting to help others helps diminish the anger. Creating art helps to decrease the pain. Meditation helps to assuage the night terrors and constant fear. My home, the USA, is mostly silent about the disappearance, sexual abuse, neglect, starvation, and poverty of our society's children. The silence of the American public is chilling... Silence = Consent. All we can do is love each other, continue to live out of compassion, and stand together in solidarity to bring awareness and change laws. Bless you, mother4justice, my heart is with you, and I will put you and your beloved children in my prayers as I light a candle at sunset tonight.
