Last Tuesday in a health research newsletter had an article on the science of screaming. just reading the title made me squirm. the next day I couldn't figure why I didn't scream when they got me. By Friday I was a wreck. My 'little one' slowly revealed how we were smothered while Jr was hurting us. I was about 5 years old then. That little frozen girl inside of me felt safe enough to tell me.
I had to call the crisis hotline and psychiatrist so I could tell on Jr. That brought relief and I was able to soothe my little one.
My frozen in time kids hold the memories. Our safe place is Gilligan's Island.

Gilligans Island was a cool place. They lived good there. Sure did pack a lot for a 3 hr. tour though It was a three hr. tour, right? Maybe in time the kids will feel comfortable in talking, give them time.

This memory resulted in a gift from my toddler. I was 4yo when my sister was born. Mom told me to stop infant sister's crying. I went in and covered her mouth. Just like Jr did to make me stop crying. My Mom came in and exploded. She yelled that I was a spoiled brat who was trying to kill her sister. The gift is I am not a jealous, spoiled killer. I am here now. My llittle girl took care of us until I was ready.
