Conviction

If your trauma is due to betrayal, your conviction to a power outside yourself will go along way towards healing.

I have had the unusual experience that “my” betrayers have done so while abandoning me at the same time.

1000s of life years of trusted relationships went “poof” 6.5 years ago when the father of my children took my son from me; and then convinced lawyers, judges, the cops, and my friends and family that the abduction was legal and justified.

Betrayal is betrayal, I know. One of the ways I have healed is with a firm conviction that all will be “okay” in the end.

We can’t control others nor should we let ourselves be controlled. I wish this trauma was not so, but it is. We just need to be wise enough to know that what is beyond our control is not our fault.
