It all started with wanting to give my son a better life
I under the impression that a village was to come with it
The village may have been a small one, but it was there
It had all the earmarks of an improvement
Then I outed an psychotic narcissist
I still stand by what I did
But it started us down a path I didn’t expect
The village slowly started to disappear
Next thing I knew, our world was being turned upside down and the village disappeared completely
We were being gaslighted and forced down a road we should never have been on
While my village disappeared, my son at least had a strong support system in school
Even after we were forced to move and found ourselves in an even more precarious situation, his support system in school only grew…
The search is still on to get us to where we need to be, but at least I know where NOT to go
Bridges have been burned and will continue to be burned
But the possibility of a village still exists
All avenues are being explored
All roads will be searched
All roadblocks will be turned over
No matter where we land, it’ll be an uphill battle
The day will come when we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel
A few lightning bugs may be helping us get there
I just hope those lightning bugs stay
It’s definitely helping taking the edge off the darkness
