When people are ostracized from family, it is because the family did not like their choices.

[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 655367, member: 17461"] I have participated in FOO group therapy. It was life-affirming in a way I cannot describe. While I could empathize with the abused child in the remembered abuses the other women brought up though, I was not able to empathize or believe in the little girl that was me. Now, thanks to all of us here on the site, I do believe in...a kind of generosity of spirit a kind of openness and honor, that I can claim. It feels like some kind of miracle, to have broken through all that. :0) Here is poetry from FOO group therapy. *** In a far land of witches and ogres In a time of princesses on strings There was come, to those trapped on that Island A staunch ally from the Valley of Horses and Kings On the Wind they did ride, the Princesses and the Ally Through fire and through smoke, to the land, far and fair On white horses with reins of black satin Seeded pearl ribbands in their sun scented hair. Draped in veils sewn of silk and white cotton Beneath which fly the colors of each Lady, fair So they traveled, the Ally and the Ladies toward the dawning Through the black, blasted lands wherein each Lady's past had its lair. So they traveled, the Ally and the Ladies princesses of dark, timeless lands without water or air Toward a sunstruck aerie of white and cupolaed pavillions At the behest of the Ally gone before them on the back of a white and a spirited mare... So they traveled, the ally and the Ladies single file, to the land far and fair On white horses with reigns of... black satin Seeded pearl ribbands in their sun scented hair So they traveled, the Ally and the Ladies Spending the coin of those dark timeless realms...purchasing courage With coin minted in fear Telling tales of old scars and of dark, unhealed wounds That the Child within each might appear Cedar [/QUOTE]
