Wow, Wow, Wow. May I dare to say that I do understand in a horrified observer’s way, the unacceptable violence done to you. The depravity of to many of those in control of children’s lives is so evil. It is beyond comprehension to those not directly involved. I am sorry that your career was interrupted by the inflexibility of others with official power over your path forward. How often have I seen this arrogance in the halls of our universities.
I am beginning to read beyond your novels’ fractured child’s existence. Your advice is RIGHT ON! Well done and well written. Keep trusting The Lord Jesus to lead you to helpful counselors. No one’s journey is complete until their end. Seek to hear, “Well done My good and faithful servant.”
It is so rare that someone can articulate back to me so clearly how they see me and my story. I deeply value all of your comments and this one, today and the other one over at my Fractured Facets literally takes my breath away. I feel SEEN by you and it gives me hope that others out there will read this and understand the depths of it all. Not just of my own personal story but also the stories of so many others who have been through what I've been through and worse and don't have a voice or a forum.
So few want to even face that this level of evil exists and in some ways I understand that because there are days I don't want to face it yet have no choice but to stare it down and, worse yet, accept it existed in my own life, especially as a child. The vested interests of all who wanted me silent won out for years but my silence has begun to kill me in so many ways and I cannot do it anymore. I won't keep evil's secrets so that it can proliferate. The way I see it, I'm going to die no matter what but I won't go out keeping its secrets anymore.
If you don't know about my website, I have more stories there that I don't know that I'd put here on Substack because asking people to understand it isn't always a fair request at the depth in which I speak it on my website. If you're interested in more reading, please go here:
My last blog post on there was a truth I had to speak but after that it drove me into silence for a while. It's hard to face that I wasn't loved like I was TOLD I was loved.
It is all the more reason my faith is so strong. No one has ever loved me like my Savior, Jesus Christ. NO ONE. I praise Him every day for showing up for me in my darkness. He didn't allow me to stay there and on the occasions that I find myself back in it, He's there to guide me out of it (hence my post here about the "Plant A Buddy".).
I appreciate you more than words can say (or write in this case).
I'm still hoping when Orion Stalks The Night becomes a hard copy that I'll get a signed copy from you. I'm behind on my reading at the moment but mark my words, I think part of the reason I put off reading it is because it's one of my happy places to savor. I respect your poetic, imaginative use of words and ideas. It's been so long since I have been captivated like I am when I read your writings.
This post is filled with excellent information. I plan to reread it in the near future to make sure I didn't miss anything. I told you yesterday that I was on Signal, but when I went to "signal" you, it wasn't there! I had to start fresh, but I am in. Hopefully, some communication will connect us. Shalom, Kathleen
Oh my goodness, I have just read this and I am amazed, that was so real , to the core and your a miracle to write this and it’s so captivating although you went through a horrific childhood, it has made me stop in my tracks and think , i genuinely loved listening to this . And you doing a amazing job to help others and I hope lots of people donate to your cause . I know personally having to fight justify all resources for 25 years for both my disabled sons , physically and emotionally, it is a hard road , so you don’t have to have a box ticked for a qualification, it’s your experiences in that field , I have had many a doctor know less than me on many subjects, only on my sons conditions , not everything, and I never stopped the fight , so Elizabeth your experiences and knowledge is absolutely needed in this field , I am and will be a strong supporter in any ways I can, I could on and on but won’t bore you , I am thinking of you always even at the moment I am not always available, Tony has me worn out , have seen every church, cross and castles in all of Spain at this stage 😂he is going home in a week, and then
I get to breathe and just do flat ground , looking at the sea instead of on it . Bye for now and the biggest big loves 💓🌅🇪🇸
