NIGERIAN DYKE REALNESS Yvonne Onakeme Etaghene

What does it mean to say no to abuse in an abusive family? Being the one to change a family dynamic or break toxic emotional patterns takes a lot of strength and courage. Sometimes the person with that courage becomes the black sheep, exiled from the family because of a refusal to go along with the toxicity. There can be a high price to pay for standing up for what you believe in, including losing people who embrace their dysfunction over being healthy relationships. What is the impact on the mental health and on the lives, of those who choose to walk away from their abusive families? What is the cost of being the person who walks away?

Is forgiveness necessary for your soul's growth and healing?  Some things are unforgivable. You deserve healing regardless of whether you choose to forgive. 

Energy is food, is power. You feed and empower what you give energy to.  Especially as you heal: why bother to expend energy towards those who hurt you by feeding them with your energy? This episode explores pathways to freedom past pain and into a deep recognition of the power of your own energy.

Not everyone deserves your prayers. If they don't deserve that prayer, put an expiration date on it and direct that loving energy to someone who deserves it--YOU!
