Bonus Supporters Club Preview Ep 2 - Forgiving Family: Navigating Trauma & Family Dynamics -

Midlife Misery: The Journals - Supporters Club Preview Episode 2

In this episode I talk about my relationship with my Mom and how my years of work in therapy helped me to forgive my Mom and to see how her pain shaped some of the mistakes and her treatment of me

I also speak to the forgiveness I worked to have for my Stepmom - while at the same time - I was also feeling very judged by my friends and family for sharing about a specific traumatic event involving my stepmom and the records I was requesting from the local police department about it - if they were still in existence. 

I share how frustrating it was for me to continue to be told "that's how things were at the time" and how most people I shared with simply expected me to "get over it" 

I share more of my communications to and from the Lieutenant of the Local Police Department that my Dad worked for in the late 70’s & early 80’s while I continued to try and seek some acknowledgment of my Dad’s service from the Police Department and the City Council

I talk about how I felt I kept getting the red tape treatment and how I consulted a friend of mine to give me some advice about how to reframe my approach and consider other options of getting acknowledgment for my father and his service to the Local Police Department 

I tease and set up how the week of February 5th, 2024 was this exact same time - LAST Year - that my Ex BFF and my Ex Husband teamed up to wage their full out assault on my reality 
My Ex BFF and my spouse would do that by lying to my therapist and utilized my EX Bff's manipulation of communication with my therapist and my EX BFF would place a call to the Local Police Department to my home to respond to the call my EX BFF made based on FALSE INFORMATION - A BLATANT LIE MY SPOUSE TOLD my EX BFF about a conversation we had, which precludes the involuntary psychiatric hold my EX and EX BFF worked together to place me into based on more lies my EX Husband would make to the medical staff in the Emergency Room on February 13, 2024
