This is a prime example of how the system failed this young girl at heart. She has been in fight or flight mode most of her life and where she is in her life today, is not her fault. I wish I could go back in time and be her social worker, I would have been her advocate and assisted in lifting her up. Whoever this social worker is, I hope she is no longer practicing. All ethical boundaries off the table.

They didn’t force anyone to talk as my dad said, “sometimes, it’s enough to know that there is just another person in that room rooting for you. No words need to be spoken by me. They just know I’m there” my dad was a judge and we sadly lost him 14 years ago and the world lost a great man. My mum, still is everyone’s mum and now everyone’s grandma. My parents changed these children who are now adults and they broke the cycle. We are in the Uk but this would of broke my dads heart. I will show this to my mum too.

It wasn't until THAT type of therapy that real digging and solving began to happen. You deserve to have a team backing you. It wasn't right what happened to you as a kid, but I hope you know that you can do this. You are strong and you are smart. You know what you want but the steps to get there are hard. The steps are like... cluttered figuratively with traumas that make it incredibly difficult to make moves. But I want you to know that you are already in route. You're gonna get to where you want to be. Life is going to get better. Keep digging, crocheting, being creative and dreaming. You're gonna get there. Hugs. Keep being compassionate with yourself.

The world needs women like her who have been through such hell and have managed to get out to show other women how to do it. Butterfly would be an exceptional teacher and mentor, if she would only allow it… I’m holding a space for you butterfly. A space where you can be who you were created to be, not the false women who was molded by unspeakable trauma. Crying is healing because you have lots of pain to get out and to get through. I was relieved to see you cry because for many years I couldn’t and only through crying did I open the door for healing. CPS gets away with lots of crap. It is designed for failure and to not believe children unless someone in the system has something to gain from believing them. You are not alone. You have a wonderful since of humor and are one of the best storyteller’s that I’ve ever seen. Here’s a mantra that you can feel free to use, if it appeals to you, “I am good, worthy and worth the effort.” Look at yourself in the mirror right in the eyes as many times each day as you can while repeating it out loud (assuming it is safe to say it aloud.) Also, use it as a mantra. A mantra is a positive sentence that could be repeated to oneself, over and over again. Especially when a person feels confused, anxious, sad, depressed or whenever it may cross the mind or when a person doesn’t know what to think or say. Eventually, something shifts inside for the better. I send you blessings, good energy and good thoughts. ❤️🤗

[@debszakormos7919]

These sessions with Mark allow the person to vent, more than they thought too, to the point of sobbing and soul-bearing, both therapeudic, cathartic. It can set the spark inside them on the path to changing their lives. I often wonder how many have gone on for the better. She cries at 4:30, and full-on sobbing by 14:33. Its heart-wrenching. " I'm still here doing this" ... "I know I'm better than this". She's a good soul who missed her mom & siblings. Mom's addiction put them in Foster care, who failed her miserably, as I hear far too often. Butterfly loves to crochet! A Mexican lady taught her. Its the unforeseen link towards her future. I have high hopes for her 🙏💓. Please followup, Mark. 😌🐦

It’s like she has been holding that pain and those tears for so long that it just burst out rushing. Butterfly, if you are reading this, I am truly sorry you have been treated so badly. In spite of it all, I see your strength, your beauty, your lessons learned, your intelligence, your heart. I am amazed at your strength and your ability to survive and surpass this. I hope and I think you will get to place where you can find peace and love and move forward from this very debilitating hurt.

When she said, "I'm a popular loner", that really resonated with me. I was Prom Queen, I have 10 siblings, and most of my childhood friends still live in the area. I'm to myself or with my partner 90% of the time. I trust no one bc of childhood trauma.

[@akusuokoronta4509]

This video really spoke to me. Me and butterfly have a lot of the same traumas. I work in healthcare but I’ve also been an exotic dancer part time and I am extremely aware that personally the reason that I do it, this isn’t for everyone, but it’s because it fills a hole and sometimes I do daydream about the pretty woman scenario and meeting someone that cares about me enough to put a value on me that’s deeper than my physical appearance and what I can offer to them physically. And you have to take on this persona of being rough and tough and cutthroat so that people don’t screw you over and try to steal from you or hurt you in the club. But in all reality when I go home and lay down at night people don’t know that I literally cuddle my stuffed animals and I feel like a kid most of the time and sometimes I wish I could be saved because being hyper independent is a trauma reaction. Much love to butterfly and everyone else in the struggle

Of course our childhood affects us. . What we go thru as kids grooms and form us into what type of adult we will be and how we present ourselves to the world.. This is exactly why we have so much human hurt, pain, murderers, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually ill people, just running wild on the earth. contributing to the world's chaos, darkside and alone why we have good people.. that have an passion to help others... because they can personally relate, know people from dysfunctional backgrounds or they are Being's born as natural empaths with healing spirits... so they are drawn to helping wounded souls.. For me, It's all of those reasons that, I naturally have a draw to hurt people.. I'm a empath and I absorb other's pain. Which is hard on my soul and very debilitating for my Spirit that's why I don't personally have people close to me emotionally.. It's too much. Especially since I don't & have never had RECIPROCITY when it comes to comforting wounded souls..

So, I worked in psych, It was one of the worst experiences of my life. The patients loved me because I showed them humanity/humility but the way that they restrained the patients disgusted me and literally made me sick to my stomach, it was hard to go home and rest easy knowing how the staff treated some of the psych patients, we had a male nurse that r *** a ***p* e+ d *** a patient with down syndrome on another unit and impregnated her., I worked with the level 22s( the high level cases ) because of my degree. Her story is not far fetched AT ALL . Blessed recovery be upon her , may she swim above the dark waters and have a testimony some day of recovery , BLESSED BE, BE BLESSED.
