I was so angry yesterday and prior to that, due to reasons that I have addressed above.
Today I feel light and bouyant, accepting and exuberant.
So grateful to be in my position! In love, safe, housed, moving closer to the children I was ruthlessly segregated from, after an extended and very painful separation.
I have experienced evil, and deep torment, I have looked into the hungry, empty, bottomless pit eyes of a sociopath, who entrapped me for years, a narcissist, one I was groomed to serve and submit to, by my own "something-is-very-missing" mother.
It left me soooooo cold, cold and shaking and nearly giving up the ghost, cold in the middle of my body, where it should never be cold.
It was a slow freeze, a boiling frog situation that finally broke, when I knew I had to leave or void my body and leave my children, permanently. I was 37.
It's the stain on the soul that lingers, when you've been raised and groomed and married to a narcissist. When the people who SHOULD care, clearly don't.
They want to predate on you, instead. Pick your bones clean. Suck your vital essence dry and leave you with nothing. Slowly, sipping on you for years, driving you steadily insane. Like a vampire who leaves you in a dungeon tower; ebbing slowly, withering, while they keep you barely alive, to keep their food source "fresh".
So, the regeneration, the soul retrieval, is long winded and gradual. I am people shy, now. Easy to startle, slow to settle.
Don't make me feel guilty for being me. Don't censor me, nor oppress me with your manipulations. I am enjoying hard fought freedoms. I won't relinquish them without a fight and even then, I won't go back to slavery and being predated on. I won't go back to mind control or anything remotely cultish.
