I am the wrong side of 40, I can count on both hands only the amount of years the system have not been in my life in some way.
Watched, judged, condemned before I can take a breath.
I have lived experience, I have knowledge, I have spent hundreds of hours reading, researching learning.
Understanding their protocols, noting their failures to follow such ones. .
I have also, on this path, acknowledged my own failures, my own mistakes, mishaps and wrong doings
Learning from them to ensure not to make the same mistakes again, as to do so doesn’t stand for a better future.
Unlike professionals who make mistake after mistake, yet are allowed without worry. Because in their eyes they are the only ones who speak the truth. Even if their truth is based on false allegations and more.
I talk now, stronger then before able to be confident in my voice. Knowing I, as a women, as a mum, as a human have rights, and am able to say I am where I am today because of a system that failed me from birth.
I no longer hold Shame or blame. As that stands on their doorstep only.
