I am hoping that it is ok to write about this in this thread. I have no desire to cause distress but I am struggling with news reports that say that children are being separated from their parents when they present themselves at the United States border seeking asylum. I fear for these children, many of whom have been "lost" in the disorganized ICE system. It grieves me to see this being done in my country and it is being covered less than TV stars tweets! I am praying that this human rights violation stops.
When I was 22 months old I was taken from the only parents I knew and returned to my biological mother and her new boyfriend. I do not remember much of this time but have painted it. I paint from a deeply unconcious place and often can access memories that I cannot otherwise access. Being taken from the safety of my soon to be adoptive parents (see introduction for more detail) was extremely traumatizing and it went downhill from there.
I have dealt with all manner of abuse memories over the years in therapy but the "kidnapping" was by far the worst. I almost lost my self. I fear that these children are in grave danger.
Your thoughts are welcome.
