In a response to a member today, I came across a quote from health line/ betrayal trauma theory: “A parent bringing a child into the world has a responsibility to protect and care for that child. This responsibility forms an unspoken agreement between parent and child“-

– what happens when the person you look up to the most in the world, the person you, as a child, need most in the whole wide world.. what happens when that person betrays you, again and again and again.. never to correct?

How devastating.. it’s not supposed to be like that. You, a child, looking up to the sky, you protest: it’s not supposed to be this way! But nothing happens. The sky remains the same, no god appearing in the sky to help you. Nothing changes, day in and day out. How darker each night becomes when nothing changes day after day after day.

You get stuck in No-Change (Anxiety), and you have to adapt to it by.. not changing yourself, not growing, not learning, not experiencing life as it could be. The past is the present and the present is the past.

A child betrayed, is it the biggest tragedy of all, or .. the beginning of all tragedies?

The broken heart of a child.

– to be continued.
