When the Story Writes Itself

Familiarity can feel like belonging — even when it’s built on neglect, imbalance, or silence. Recognizing that difference has been part of my healing.

When the Story Writes Itself

I can’t deny how “clean” and persuasive the narrative against me can look.

That’s what happens when people of similar energetic makeup benefit from the same imbalance — the same rupture without repair. The story writes itself.

I’m learning to recognize and name that attraction and familiarity. This isn’t self-exoneration.

It’s pattern literacy.

And it unsettles the most convenient explanation — that things are “difficult” only where I’m involved — when all other relationships remain intact through the shared commitment to avoidance of (conflict) resolution through silence, distance, and collective denial.

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.
