Radar

In the terms of trauma, radar to me means vigilance. I have 8 years of experience being the target of emotional, verbal, and financial abuse.

Radar is a form of intuition. It has helped pinpoint who is accountable. It also has helped me be objective. I learned their choices have nothing to do with me and visa versa.

Radar is one part imperviousness, one part discernment, and one part acceptance.  

My advice: be a survivor not a victim. Stand up to whomever needs to be held to account. Tell them to stop. If they don’t, tell them again until they do. Radar is not only helpful to you but to others.  

We are all worthy of peace and our inalienable rights to live without the interference of others.

Know you will be okay.  Because you will. Remember to find support.
