Rising From Hell
The Alchemy of Survival: Turn the gaslight into fuel and fan your own flames 🔥 There’s a misconception that surviving abuse, betrayal, or trauma requires silence, shame, or meek compliance. That somehow, to be “good,” we must shrink into corners, lower our voice, and let the world dictate the terms of our suffering. That somehow, to survive, we must whisper, fold, and diminish ourselves until we fit inside the expectations of others.

Rage, Truth, and Survival
The Compass of the Survivor It is often said that anger is destructive. That rage leads only to chaos. But what they do not understand is that anger is truth in motion. For those of us who have been violated, manipulated, and robbed—emotionally, spiritually, financially—rage becomes a compass. It points directly to the wounds the world has ignored, to the lies that have been tolerated, to the injustices no system dares to acknowledge. Rage is the pulse of awareness, the fire that refuses to be extinguished.

The Shrinking of a Man
There are strong men who build, and there are weak men who drain. Some learn that when they can’t stand in their own strength, they can still feel powerful by attaching themselves to someone luminous – a strong, loyal, resilient woman with empathy, creativity, and conscience. They study her light like a blueprint and then set about stealing the source.

Seeing Beyond the Surface
Imagine a man gets a dog. He sees it only as a servant, an object to serve him, a mirror for his ego. The dog validates him when it comes when called, performs tricks, or appears loyal. He does not see the dog as an individual, with its own needs, desires, and dignity. He sees only what benefits him. Much like predatory men see women: as interchangeable objects, vessels, shadows of their ego, rather than fully alive beings.

The Garden After the War
Across the ages, we’ve played out this wound—the fall from Eden, the wars of gods and lovers, the burning of witches, the crucifixion of truth. But the myths are shifting now. The garden is not lost; it waits within us. Every healed heart is a seed, every honest union a bloom. We are rewriting the story of creation—not from power over, but power with. This is the new genesis.

Living the Truth Others Refuse to See
Coercive control thrives in silence. It thrives in secrets. In the hidden corners where abuse is whispered about but never named, where fear keeps the truth locked inside. I write to shatter that silence. To strip abusers of the false power they cling to — not with vengeance, but with sacred testimony: a voice aligned with justice, truth, and the God who witnesses all. Speaking the truth of what happened is not a crime, not a grievance, not gossip. It is an act of courage, a declaration that fear and manipulation will no longer dictate reality.

Righteousness vs. Moralism: Speaking Truth Without Fear
Exodus 23:1 – “Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.” Proverbs 18:8 – “The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.”
