Not in My House...how about your home?

Denial at Home

There's a place where the truth is never spoken. A place where the wife and the children are taught to fear the consequences of letting on too much. To draw attention, to the bad situation or speaking about it out loud, is not a wise course of action.

Not In This House...

There's a place where friends aren't welcome anymore and family members are discouraged to call. It is a place where neighbors turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the violence and terrifying call for help. Even when the police arrive to escort him away, no one consoles her or counsels her to leave, anymore.

Not In This House...

There is a place where the anger is raging out of control. It ebbs and flows down the halls and splashes around the bend onto the walls. Even the youngest child of all can feel it rising and has already taken to hiding or waiting for the "Shoe" to fall. The tweens and teens know it is wrong and are rehearsing, like a the movie in their head, the day when they will challenge it head on! Wanting nothing more than peace alone, the mother struggles to soothe the savage beast that is destroying her home.

Not In This House...

There is a place where every detail is measured and controlled. It is orchestrated each day, where she goes, how long she stays, the money she spends, the items she buys, the tasks that she performs, and her relentless quality control inspections. He has become so focused on control that he has lost sight of the goal, to provide for his family and create a safe, happy home. Nonetheless, like a well intended robot that had been sent on a search and rescue mission, something has gone gone terribly wrong. With the transmission lost and the signals crossed, the robot destroys what it was once sent to rescue. Who will retrieve and repair the droid?

Not In This House...

Sometimes there's only one solution or one way out. To walk away and never look back. It like a witness protection program for families. The severing of all ties and common acquaintances, it is the most painful of operations. Yet, the safest way to escape the angry grip of the negative hold on your live. Miles aways, in safe waters, in your own home, you will find new found joy and hope as you now proclaim:

Not In My House...Anymore!
