19.01.2022 Sense of humour is so important when things are crazy, and I just saw this twisted but clever joke: "How many narcissists does it take to change a light bulb? None. They all use gaslighting!"

09.01.2022 Post-traumatic growth (PTG) is a theory that explains it is possible for individuals to bounce back higher than we were before the traumatic event. Post-Traumat...ic Growth Inventory (PTGI). It looks for positive responses in five areas: New possibilities in life. Personal strength. Relationships with others. Appreciation of life. Spiritual change. Journal of Traumatic Stress (1996) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8827649/ #ptg #posttraumaticgrowth #nevergiveup #risingabove #parentalalienation

05.01.2022 The derivation of the term "villain" goes back through ancient French to Latin, meaning "farmhand", in the sense of someone who is bound to the soil of a villa, which is to say, worked on the equivalent of a plantaion. It also referred to a person of less then knightly status, a.k.a. a person who was not chivalrous and polite. In modern times, unchivalrous and evil acts, such as treachery or rape, are considered villainous, so it has become a term of abuse. The word "victim" ...also has it's origins in Latin and covers persons who have suffered from injurious actions, been deceived or cheated, or a person or animal sacrificed in whatever instance. On the surface, those two groups of people sound like they are diametrically opposed in life, but, to me, villains are victims, both in the past and in the present. I believe the majority of villainous behaviour is the "paying forward" of stored-up trauma. Trauma from neglect or abuse in younger years, especially when the person is unable to fight back or flee, the usual reactions to threats. It's complex in lots of ways, but also simple when you look at it. That stuff has to go somewhere, so often victims turn into villains in their delayed response to earlier abuse. It's a downward spiral often leading to drug addiction and crime, then imprisonment, which just makes it worse. There's a growing awareness of this, but not enough is yet being done to either prevent people getting into the wrong end of the system, or to help them get out once they are in. My suggestion, from the outside, is to offer generous or more expansive thoughts about someone who is making a victim of someone else, as they're likely to have been on the other end of the stick. Until our systems start to fully recognise villains as being victims, as individuals, we can do our part in changing the way we view so-called villains. The thought really does count. #erased #parentalalienation #familyseparation
