POV- you learned which adults not to correct.

“She would have been better if she wasn’t corrupt ,” My mother converses with my aunt at the dinner table with a pot of tea between them.

I peer around the corner in time to see my aunt commit the biggest betrayal to me..

She agreed with my mom…

She told me she believed me.

Why did she lie to me ?

She was the only one to believe me…. Until that night….

... Read moreGrowing up, many of us experience moments where we realize that not all adults are open to correction or truth, especially when it conflicts with their beliefs or interests. This story captures a poignant moment of betrayal—the painful understanding that sometimes the adults who seem to support us may in fact side with others or deny our truth. From personal experience, I know how disheartening it can be when a trusted adult pretends to believe you but then contradicts you behind your back. This emotional conflict often teaches a hard lesson about which adults you can truly count on and which ones are likely to undermine or dismiss your perspective. It's a reminder that trust is fragile, especially within family relationships. The dialogue about corruption and betrayal at the dinner table subtly highlights how adult perspectives can be biased by their own experiences and hidden agendas. Such dynamics are common in families, where loyalty and personal history complicate truth-telling and openness. Linking this to the themes of 'The Ghost of Blackmore' and 'Hollow Wing of Blackmore' adds a supernatural depth to the emotional turmoil, illustrating how ghost stories and horror POVs can mirror real human conflicts—fear, distrust, and the painful unveiling of harsh realities. For readers feeling isolated in their family struggles, this narrative offers an uninhibited look into the complexity of adult relationships and the importance of discerning whom to trust. It encourages reflection on personal boundaries and self-protection when confronting difficult truths, a valuable lesson for navigating both everyday and extraordinary circumstances.

There (used to be) such a misconception that ADHD was only an issue or only detected/diagnosed in children. Well, that’s no longer the case (especially in women) and it can and does absolutely show up in adults as well. Obviously being that each person is different, so will the ways in which
