To move forward one must deal with the pain they left behind so I’m going to open up about those difficult moments in this continuing blog piece. Every so often I will add another traumatic event I’ve had to deal with or one that I’m sorta dealing with now. Here goes.
(1) Death of Parents– I’ve lost both my parents in the last three years and although it wasn’t sudden the loss came basically one after another.
(2) Teased and Tormented– Throughout my early years I was teased and tormented by my peers and even adults. That came from my lack of self-confidence, gullibility, and special needs I had to overcome.
(3) Falsely Accused and Arrested- This took years for me to come out and tell my story about an evil man who tried to destroy my life as I tried to stop him from hurting others.
(4) Betrayed by Close Associates- I’ve seen countless individuals whom I and/or my family have trusted betray us in the world of commerce and/or friendship
(5) Mental Health Issues of Loved Ones- Dealing with your own problems is hard enough but when those that you love suffer and there is very little one can do it really hurts.
(6) Sudden Unexpected Death Of A Four-Legged Best Friend- Seeing your pet one moment alive and happy and the next die within your eyes isn’t something one easily gets over.
(7) Life & Death Decisions- Several times in my life I had to make decisions that resulted in some way to the death of a loved one. From taking parents off respirators (even if it was their wishes) to putting down suffering dogs these are pains that stay within one way past the decisions.
(8) Armed Robbery- Not only was my property stolen but I gun was brandished during this crime.
(9) History- Anyone who has lived through Hurricanes,911 and Covid has pain their own history
