Belonging

familyTonight’s show is all about the perfect family gatherings. . . and how children who’ve been abused feel out of place while pretending everything is ok.
Whether we are adults who were abused when we were growing up, or children still in the midst of the abuse, family events often make us feel like we don’t belong. Others don’t understand how we feel. Many of us are forced to smile and be nice to the aggressors themselves – just to “keep peace” in the family. We are “keeping a secret” and pretending to be happy. We are often told to “lighten up” , and “stop being so grumpy” because we are not allowed to feel our true feelings.
Listen in to tonight’s half hour show and hear Lynn Wellman talk about why our feelings of “NOT belonging” are actually accurate!
Healing starts here.
