TrapHouse

I believe everyone in my family grew up in a trap house, but pride blocks that reality from penetrating some psyches. I’m able to articulate that truth in a way that pierces their defense mechanisms though. So they learned a new one…ex-communication. Go figure. But that piercing happens because the voice I speak from, comes from knowing that my father didn’t want children when he had them. My ‘mother’ did. But my ‘mother’ only wanted a child because she wanted my father…she didn’t want children when she had them either. Hence the lack of foresight. That knowing has stunted the growth of my soul. And the trauma associated with that knowledge allows me to tell the women, in my ‘family’, the brutal truth about themselves.
