Taking care 0f myself in threatening and unsteady unlawful times. Saying prayers about the ways people are traumatized in their life and I’m hoping and standing for better outcomes for safety, protection, and treatment. Because I have been through the teenage trauma of my step fathers physical abuse to me. I relive the experiences of physical and mental emotional health all over again in my adult and Senior life. Some people won’t let me let go of the abuse and want to do more to me.. I find myself pitted in the middle asking the family of dwellers across the street, who blow a sharp whistle in the middle of the night and early morning in the dead of my sleep to please Refrain from doing so. It hurts my body, my mind, And my Parkinson’s effects that came about with my mental condition. I had taken a wonderful mental health medusa for years but because of the length of time I took it, I developed Parkenson;s effects. The effects have been corrected with new medicine and therapy but when someone deliberately puts my life and mental health in danger, threatens me and traumatizes me some of symptoms return, and I need to work through the therapy to save my life all over again. It is so needless and unnecessary. My Roseburg High Class of 67′ High School Graduation picture Sherry Marie Standing Joiner
