peace of mind (was no subject)

January 25, 2011

I'm so glad for you that you gave yourself that gift: peace of mind, by blocking

your nada totally on FaceBook.

And yes: the children of high-functioning pd parents are basically screwed

because this kind of pd person can appear so normal and even charming in public.

Just having even one other person who is able and willing to validate your

reality... one person who has witnessed the insidious covert abuse is so

sanity-preserving.

You can be your own validating witness by keeping a private diary or blog and

recording each incident of abuse by date/time and details.

Document every single damned incident; you'll be your own reality check that

way, too.

And how about we equip all kids with cel phones that have a digital recording

feature so more of the covert abuse can be documented and used to get kids out

of extremely abusive households. Its about freakin' time to level the playing

field and give kids some power, sez I!
