Too many I individuals given a powerful and privileged position that effectively abuses their power for status and greed. Power within local authorities these days is a norm(power corrupts). I won\u00e2\u0080\u0099t give details of my individual case on here to safeguard and protect the identity of a very special young person to myself but let\u00e2\u0080\u0099s just I have lost faith and trust in all persons in authority in my birth nation. I highly recommend David Icke\u00e2\u0080\u0099s \u00e2\u0080\u0098Everything you need to know but have never been told\u00e2\u0080\u0099 Just to add I am now a shadow of my former self and life will never ever be the same for me again. I now live with a deep, profound sadness, loss and grief and really don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t think the sensitive and nurturing mother I naturally am(I know my strengths, weaknesses etc ie weak boundaries hint hint & ultimately know myself more than anyone and therefore I feel I will never ever get over it. That\u00e2\u0080\u0099s what happens if you are gullible and foolish enough to let in a manipulative and controlling egotistical narcissistic, sociopath personality into your life. A man void of love, physically affection,intimacy and more importantly respect, remorse & empathy; who is hellbent on destroying a child\u00e2\u0080\u0099s mother for personal gain(pathological lies, gaslighting, trickery, emotional abuse. I do not wish what I have personally experienced on any woman, mother or anyone. He wasn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t afraid to be physically abusive too. Physical scars heals yet the aforementioned abuse, well let\u00e2\u0080\u0099s put it this way one is \u00e2\u0080\u0098traumatised\u00e2\u0080\u0099 for dear life, no words - I do believe he was severely neglected(emotional)as a child and only have pity for this individual). What is most unsettling and very disturbing, distressing and upsetting is the fact he has managed to hoodwink certain individuals in very powerful positions of authority to convince and believe that he some sort of God and that I am the unstable one with mental health issues etc when I know my God-gifted child(more on that later) was Divinely sent to me(I received a prophetic dream prior to knowing I was expecting one\u00e2\u0080\u0099s precious God-gifted child)which turned to be accurate and true. I\u00e2\u0080\u0099m a typical Cancerian female and mother and to deny the human rights of a woman(the greatest human rights of a woman is that of mother) is to challenge their very humanity. I am very much a nurturer and a good one and that and I know I will probably die broken-hearted by not fulfilling ultimate long-time, long-term dream of just being mummy(never got my much longed for \u00e2\u0080\u0098tiny tears\u00e2\u0080\u0099 nor doll\u00e2\u0080\u0099s house as a child - no one knew yet I felt fortunate with my very natural conception and pregnancy as it was a lovely one based on one\u00e2\u0080\u0099s very accurate cycle). Unfortunately, I didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t have a chance to speak in depth with anyone and yes, feel betrayed, very abused and a sense of a huge miscarriage of justice in one\u00e2\u0080\u0099s birth place. I don\u00e2\u0080\u0099t think I will ever get over this. As a typical nurturing and sensitive woman it really is heartbreaking and wouldn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t ever wish this on any woman, mother or any human-being. Life is short, no words. And ultimately the child misses out on the unconditional love, maternal care and support only a mother can give. And incidentally I nursed my child for 60 months with the support from a lovely author who herself has raised two daughters herself on mother\u00e2\u0080\u0099s milk(she\u00e2\u0080\u0099s now a grandmother who\u00e2\u0080\u0099s daughter is following her mother\u00e2\u0080\u0099s good example) I can never forgive for the precious time lost away from my child nor will I ever forget. So much sadness, loss & grief. Not one single individual gave me the opportunity to speak up in depth, not one. I hope the individuals involved can live with their pure consciences.
