Post-Traumatic Growth Journal

SO, I don't have suggestions either - just a lot of respect and care for what you're carrying. The way you name the knowing, the helplessness, the anger, and the love all at once feels very real. Being the one who sees clearly in a system that keeps repeating harm is an incredibly lonely place to stand.

I'm really glad you shared this here. You don't have to hold it alone in this space. 💛

Yeah all the responses!

Just because the oracle sees the future, does that mean they are responsible for it?

In many ways Cptsd gave us superpowers. But those powers only work on ourselves. We cannot save the world. Lord knows I've wanted and tried. It cannot be.

I am sorry you are dealing with this and I am familiar with the feeling of knowing what will happen and being powerless to prevent it. The Greek myth of Cassandra comes to mind.

It is horrible how trauma and damage flows down the generations and that our ability to stem the flow is limited however much we would like things to be otherwise.

I'm still struggling to find my own words that I never spoke and need to speak, so many years later. How can I ever capture what has been done to me by my own mother in words?

SO, the first thing that came to my mind when i read this was poetry.  the poetry of yours i read here was so meaningful, so heartfelt, so brave.  it may be a stepping off point for you.  i don't know, but it's the first thing i thought of.

i wish i could do more to help you with all this.  you are carrying a load no one should have to carry.  love and hugs filled w/ strength.
