Posted on Medium – Escaping in my PJ’s:
THE STIRRINGS OF AN ESCAPE PLAN – IN MY PAJAMAS. It was my responsibility to take the garbage out. It was my responsibility to do a lot of things, but I liked taking the garbage out because it was the one time of day he didn’t ‘escort’ me. It was the only time of the day he…

My medium article – on being gaslit and emotionally abused:

Black box
A talented artist Stan Walker sings a song I LOVE called “Black Box” where in the chorus he sings “There’s a little black box yeah, somewhere in the ocean…holding all the truth about us…there’s a little black box, a record of emotion…everything there ever was…” (** Black boxes are anti-breakable boxes on planes that record…
