Accountability

No matter what, we are accountable for our own choices:

• what we say,

• how we think,

• the words we use,

• the feelings we have,

• how we spend our time,

• how we treat others,

• how we save or spend money,

• actions (or inactions) we take,

• decisions we make,

• The perspectives and opinions we have (as long as they are based on facts)

• the relationships we choose to have etc …

Such acknowledgment changed my life. Period. End stop.

Why? Because I realized that my choices are mine and mine only. Similarly, the choices of others are theirs.

There is absolutely no dependency.

In terms of trauma, such objectivity is empowering. For me, the facts are perfectly clear: The father of my children and my family and friends made their choices to abduct my son and have failed to return him home after 6.5 years.

They are accountable, not me. I have chosen to be accountable for sharing the facts. The facts make change.

I promise your ability to rise above your trauma is just one choice away.
