Between Invisible & Seen: Finding True Belonging

I am seeking healing in the form of a way to channel all of this old information and energy out of me, so that it doesn’t continue backfiring, making me sicker, sadder, and more afraid.

What I long for is a sense of being included, of being called in- to my own life, a community and family. And also to become sovereign – to belong to and take ownership over myself and achieve wholeness and wellness.

In both my family of origin and my marriage, I felt, at once, invisible and like a spectacle. My needs of no significance and simultaneously outrageous and responsible for all things bad.

Within each of those systems, I experienced was feeling simultaneously confined and unmoored—never held, never free. Lost.

I am in a program of recovery for those whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking, drug use, mental illness. I am newly learning faith, hope, and courage, practices not witnessed by me, in my childhood, with my family. Sadly, No Contact, as a last resort, is how I keep safe from diminishing words and actions directed at me. I think I have listened for the last time to how I deserve mistreatment. By holding out for something more wholesome and loving, I have been both banished and demanded to return. I prefer serenity to proximity. I will continue with my program and faith in the best possible outcome, so long as I do my part-- to stalk GOD as if my life depends on it.
