Why I’m not afraid to speak my truth
I am not afraid to speak my truth because I am the only one authority of my truth. Just because you get angry – you don’t gain authority or validity over me. Just because you disagree – you don’t gain authority or validity over me. Just because you are triggered, or don’t like the conversation…
You are abandoning yourself in the name of your family’s pathology
If you are in the “Harry and Meghan are bad for speaking about their family” camp, or a variation of such, you are defending your own abuse, or at the very least mistreatment, and most likely pathology.
