Change the Ink

If you are trying to print something and the paper comes out blank, you have a few choices:

• Assume you “never” get technical things!
• Assume the printer is broken.
• Assume there is no paper.
• Assume there is no ink.

It’s good to have a few assumptions against which you can check your reality. When you find the problem and fix it, you will probably have success.

These steps are not so easy when dealing with abuse. You may probably assume you are always wrong and that is probably the lie you are being fed. You have to start to check your assumptions.

For Example, are you being berated by others in other parts of your life?

No?

Good.

Do you feel at ease when the abuser is not around?

Yes?

Good.

You have the beginning of an investigation. It may turn out that it is only ONE person who makes you miserable.

You have some choices to make.

• Leave?
• Stay with boundaries?
• Stay and do nothing?

It’s up to you.

Always on your side,
Indrani G.
