This is a journal in the form of random writings during an extremly difficult period in my life, when I was walking the line between sanity and insanity, life and death.

I was breaking down, breaking from the life I have created as an adult and breaking with a man I was married to for 19 years - an extreme taker, mist maker, light breaker.

I chose him, I needed him once upon a time, we had an unknown agreement...

It was not all bad, yet, on the whole, it was far from good.

 

As a witness, my writings woke me up by reflecting the painful truth I was living. It was chaos, mess and distress, but I got through and out. 

 

And I am eternally grateful for the precious support of the women's circle and individual work through therapies, embodyment and deep listening.

 

With this sharing, I want to raise awareness and spark openness about the harmful dynamics inside families, with the closest ones and the deeply rooted patterns. Things that are hidden and not spoken about are creating a mist where the one is confused and can barely breathe, only surviving.

 

Honoring the truth, love and my life experience.

I share.

🙏
