40. I don't know how to find someone...

Aug 2019

to help write the book...or books. With all the bad, there was some incredible good, though.

I wonder, if the women, and there are still women who are in slavery, if they get out what and who will take care of them? I was very fortunate to have friends and family that lived away from normal society, meaning Native Americans who took it upon themselves to help me heal and understand and I got to go crazy with pain and anger. But, if all the women (and men) were found and released from their chains and shackles, what will happen to them?

I was in it for a very short time, considering some in for life. But, I was still young enough to have some resemblance of a normal life. Even now, I don't have 'normal' thoughts and actions. I pretend to, because I want my daughter to, but, mostly I fake it. I am not educated and everywhere I go, I look for an escape route. I won't go into a building unless I can find another way out.

Really don't know what would have happened if someone I trusted, a spiritual leader, had taken and betrayed trust like that. We are all victors, we are all being victimized with what is happening right now and the light being shown, we are being emotionally raped and shackled to a 'man' who is supposed to lead us, to protect us, and we're simply not.

For women like me and you and others here, we are being forced day after day of reliving our most painful and degrading moments of our lives, without our consent too!

WE ARE VICTORS!

If you have any ideas on how to contact someone to help with writing my story, please DM me and let me know!
