Women aren’t angry enough. I don’t tend to post during any specific month, but this post is largely targeted at domestic violence and what an absolutely horrific job our justice system / government is doing to navigate this. I have learned SO much about the cycles of abuse / violence from observing in childhood first and throughout my adult life (with a long pause during my first marriage-not that it was perfect by any means). Victims cannot be expected to “just leave” when they are actively being manipulated and targeted by abusers. I’m a grown woman with an advanced degree in mental health and I still fell into this trap. There are sneaky, insidious and deeply disturbed men who are masterful at their craft. And the more I learn about narcissistic abuse, covert narcissists, trauma bonds, and addicts the more I realize it’s like they were handed the same playbook. I made every excuse and turned every corner to understand my abuser, but the truth is they make intentional and willful choices to harm, and when pointed out refuse to do any work on themselves (except those false breadcrumbs). I didn’t survive this for no reason, I’ll alchemize this to help others, like I always do. However, I am asking the universe to teach me my next lessons through joy and play
