Thank you Patricia in having courage to share your story.
I felt an easing of my whole body as I read the two: “What does my soul want me to hear’ from 2022.
My story is oh so different but the levels of shame that have always run through me can still feel like an up hill climb to heal every now and again…your words spoke to those parts and I’m grateful.
Looking forward to hearing more about your healing journey bc it’s powerful and potent stuff.
Awe Suzy. Thank you for these words. There is a struggle within me as I share this journey. I do not wish to make my mom out to be the bad guy. I questioned why I was sharing and my own spirit of intent.
I prayed for one person to say something in the way of encouragement to continue.
Ahhhh Patricia. I feel these questions and stuggles in my bones too. Especially when I was writing Marathon To Freedom on my substack.
In my former life as an avid bible student I remember there was a bible verse (Matthew 24:15) that had a statement in parenthesis: Let the reader use discernement.
That’s what I came to my mind right now.
The discerning reader will be on their own healing path and so therefore have great understanding about what mulit-layered, mulit-faceted and complex beings we are. The older I get, the more I find it very difficult to label anyone as ‘the bad guy’. My sense is that your readers will be of that mind too…that they will be interested only in changing patterns and healing generational, ancestral and collective trauma.
It is very evident you write from a pure and loving heart.
I’m so deeply grateful to read the words that come from a heart like that.🤍
Thank you, Patricia, for sharing your story, one that is all too common for far too many people. I look forward to reading the continuation, and I have no doubt that others will benefit from learning about your healing. 💚
Thank you for reading and responding. It is hard to know if I am telling too much or the right amount for others to see themselves. I hope to help even one other person find understanding and peace.

No thanks necessary! I also DM'd you.
I saw and I appreciate you.
