Scapegoat's Cross (Poem)

Brenda Yuen 3/11/146:47 PM

This is a magnificently insightful poem for ANY member of a dysfunctional family unit who has been outcast either by their abusive childhood, or who has stopped maintaining the family code of silence. You will be blown away by the resonating words -- this poem is close to my heart and very descriptive of my own life and dysfunctional family experience.

Please give it a read. It's worth it. The poet, Rick Belden, writes such beautiful work that deeply connects with those of us dealing with abusive traumatic childhoods. And he has a book of poetry entitled "Iron Man Family Outing" that I own and highly recommend (it's available on loan from the 1in6.org book resources page). Please share his work with anyone you know. They will connect with it immediately:
