I am back

 Now that my computer is finally fixed, I am back y'all!


I have returned with new life lessons and a whole lot to share, so consider this my reintroduction to myself. As a single mother, a friend, a full time employee and above all a human being. I am worthy of love and appreciation, I am worthy of telling my story and I am worthy of sharing the love and light that flows through me.

My name is Madisun and I am a survivor, a human with intense and valid emotions and feelings, a researcher who has a special interest in all things trauma, and a human worthy of experiencing all of that freely. I also sometimes need a break, everything can get overwhelming especially for neuro-spicy people like myself, but the life updates are coming in, so I figured it was time repair my computer, take a deep breath and dive back in. I currently work full time, over nights, in the social justice world. I continue to grow as a human, expand in my empathy and become who I was meant to be. The pain, the abuse, the suffering, the restriction, the betrayals have all built me into who I am today, but the love, connection, family and joy have all created my mindset and relationship to myself. I have chosen my path and I cannot wait to expand and share who I am and why I am the way I choose to be.

The year has been one of growth, of learning and of achievement. Join the ride as I explain to you all, how and why I found happiness.

To me, letting go feels like giving up.  Toxic marriages happen, and when children are involved in those toxic marriages, then to let go can feel like "giving up" on your family, on your children and maybe even on your dreams.  Toxic family structures are normalized and even sometimes admired.  In toxic environments, you can get stuck in the negativity, and sometimes that is all you know, so how can you know what hea...

  What the heck even are boundaries, why are they neccisary and HOW the HECK do they work? link for this chart Setting boundaries starts with understanding your own basic needs, for me there are a few basic things I need for every relationship, friendship or partnership to be successful.  Everyone has their own needs and desires but for the sake of this blog, these are my needs, wants and desires when it comes to conversations, interactions, disagreements and discussions. Personally these are my needs: 1) Open communication in conversations including calling me out when I interrupt and being willing to be called out when interrupting  2) Ability to accept fault on all sides 3) Ability to think critically and use empathy too see other peoples point of view, or see situations for other points of view. Here are some boundaries that I have set based on those needs that I have expressed here: 1) During communication I will not be yelled at or screamed at in a conversation and ...
