Surprising Recollections of a Seizure
Original story
Message to a Survivor
Even if you feel like you are going through the roughest part of your journey, I encourage you to look for every opportunity for growth. In our darkest times (we are a system), we always believed that no matter what was happening, it was our brain TRYING for all its desperate worth to show us something, to push us along on the path to healing. If you believe this, you can find the strength to go on!! I believe in you, and I know you can do it!
Message of Healing
I just want to piece together all of the floating bits of information in my past to form a cohesive narrative, and then go on to become a stronger, kinder person for those in the life I lead now. There is no way to go back... I wish only the best for the people I left behind but I can't help them now.
I want my brother to know that I forgive him for anything that might have taken place between us. We were all victims in that horrible house and nobody was being taught the correct way to relate to their bodies and the bodies of others. I forgive you!! When I woke up from that seizure, when we were older... I think I must have had a flashback, I didn't know where I was. There was no way I could have 'dragged' myself over to that plastic cup, as mother says, because in a tonic clonic seizure, this is impossible. So I think, since you were the one that found me, you must have brought it near me, and in my delirious state, I perceived it as another assault and attacked you. I probably scared the living daylights out of you, but you have to admit, gnawing up and swallowing pieces of that cup was pretty impressive!! You have been failed CONSISTENTLY by everyone around you and I always wished I could help you. To me, we are both victims, and I weep for us both.
