Unshackled, A Survivor's Story of Mind Control

420 Unshackledroots. I used the roots as an opportunity to express my rage at the men inmy past who had sexually assaulted me. And then, when I’d finishedexpelling the anger, I planted a tree or bush. I’ve given myself the opportunity to study to become a better gardener.Gardening is a major part of my healing now–I call the PARC garden my“playground.” Whenever I feel overly stressed, I pick up fallen tree limbsor pull weeds while enjoying the beauty all around. It’s exciting to knowthat now, I have the chance to help living things grow and thrive! I’ve given myself the right to live a long and healthy life. I’m still set-ting goals that I expect to reach by the time I’m eighty. After that, I’llconsider retirement. I’m working towards obtaining a bachelor’s degree and then a master’sdegree in Social Work. Ironically, the US Government provided thisopportunity. Because my husband was awarded 100% disability statusfrom the Veterans Administration, I was automatically awarded fourfree years of college! In my Social Work studies, I’ve been humbled tolearn that all kinds of injustices exist in our world–not just those I’veexperienced. I give myself the right to be “good enough.” If I earn less than an ‘A’in a class, I relax and don’t go into an anxiety-induced tailspin. I don’thave to be perfect anymore. Having fun is a good goal! I choose to use visualization, therapy, and memory buildingtechniques to heal my brain. Every day, I “see” more of its damagedneuron paths reconnecting. I choose to believe that my brain has thepower to heal itself. I choose not to obsess about memories that I probably still repress.I don’t have to remember every piece of every repressed memory to beable to heal and live a full life.2 I give myself the right to not forgive those who viciously and willinglyhurt me. I give myself the right to feel anger towards those who batteredme mentally, emotionally, and physically. I allow myself to feel gladwhen they fall ill or die, knowing the same can happen to me and myloved ones (after all, illness and death are not selective). I need to feel theanger to avoid being their victim again. I balance out my anger by learning what I can about their childhoods.I try to understand them and to feel compassion for their woundedness,although not in a way that emotionally locks me into them again(remember: rabid dog).3

New Life 421 To protect my mind and life, I choose not to have any further contactwith my childhood family. Although I miss those who did not harm me,they are too closely connected to those who did.4 To avoid feeling overwhelmed and depressed, I allow myself to relaxon family holidays. Sometimes friends invite us to celebrate with them.Their kindness and caring are precious gifts. I give myself the right to say, “My mother and other women sexuallyabused me.” I choose not to let societal myths about sainted nurturerssilence me anymore. Females sexually assault children, too.5 I choose to research the evidence of historical conspiracies. I will notaccept the shame that continues to be indiscriminately dumped on intelli-gent people by our government and the mainstream media when we chooseto question what we’re told to believe. We are not conspiracy theorists orfanatics. Such labels are condescending and inaccurate. We are realists. I give myself time to grieve old and new losses. The traumas thatI endured hurt me in many ways. I still grieve the loss of not having hadthe ability to nurture, respect, and properly care for Emily. I accept thatI may never fully recover from the murder of my precious baby Rose andother dear ones I lost along the way. Never having had loving, protective parents has been a huge loss forme to grieve. Not having respectful, loving family members to go towhen I feel upset or need advice is another.6 I give myself permission andtime to grieve each of these losses—as often and for as long as I need to. I give myself permission to be just plain human. When I first discov-ered the hidden parts of my personality, I was terrified of making mis-takes or doing something immoral. I was afraid I’d turn into a sociopathicabuser if I integrated with those parts (I didn’t). Now, I choose to believethat life is a journey of discovery and growth. Even if I screw up royally,I can still learn from that mistake and make better choices in the future. I give myself the right to feel and express gratitude. I do not feel grate-ful for having been betrayed and harmed in the past. I do, however, feelgrateful for so many good things that have come into my life since I startedto break free from my controllers. I received free schooling. I have goodmedical insurance coverage that has kept us from having to file for bank-ruptcy. I have two functioning legs, arms, and eyes, and a brain that stillworks well. I have a nice home. I have a husband who loves and caresabout me. I can hear and talk and hug and type. Even if I lose some ofthose abilities, I’ll still have the rest!

422 Unshackled I especially feel grateful that I have today. I’m alive and have theopportunity to work towards my life goals. I have another day to cuddlewith my husband and inhale his natural, soothing scent. To massage ourelderly dog’s arthritic shoulders as he groans with pleasure. To make newfriends. To fall in love with humanity. Because I’m alive, I can walk through the garden to see which plantsare in bloom. I have another day to listen to the chorus of thousands ofkatydids that rhythmically buzz at night. To read entertaining magazines(I adore Star, Cosmo, and GQ). To watch a good movie that I didn’t havethe opportunity to enjoy in the past. To walk in the rain. To watchchildren at play and note that they are being watched and protected—how wonderful!—by their caregivers. I give myself the right to change the meanings of those things in mylife that Dad and other perpetrators had sadistically desecrated and per-verted in my mind. Now, I can enjoy breathtakingly beautiful rainbowswith the understanding that they are not magical and won’t take me toanother dimension. When I see storm clouds roiling in the distance,I know that a tornado isn’t likely to appear. I can even tolerate the soundof an approaching military copter and know that I am still safe. When I light fragrant candles in our home, I know that black-robedSatanists won’t walk into our living room for a ritual. I even give myselfpermission to wear red and black clothes together, knowing they won’tchange the essence of who I am. Butterflies are another symbol that I have disarmed. Many mind-controlvictims have been called “butterflies” by programmers. In the past, I feltagitated every time I heard a survivor talk about being transformed froma worm or caterpillar to a butterfly, or about leaving the cocoon, becausesuch phrases were used as part of our programming.7 To counter its effects, I created a small butterfly garden, within thelarger PARC-VRAMC garden, to honor those survivors. I installed but-terfly bushes (some were donated by survivors) and a wooden butterflybox. Every spring, I plant lantana. On summer days, I watch individualbutterflies flit and land on the flowers, knowing that I was not and nevercan be a butterfly. Now I’m able to enjoy them for what they are–beau-tiful, totally harmless, delicate creatures. I’ve also reclaimed the real meaning of some of the spiritual elements inmy life. About halfway through the intensive phase of my recovery, I

New Life 423stopped attending church altogether–too many elements of the servicestriggered horrific memories. In December 2002, I decided to go to a Christmas Eve church servicewith Bill. I wondered if it would still be too much for me to bear. Entering the small brick church, I chose a pew behind the rest of thecongregation so that I had an easy avenue of escape. As the servicestarted, I discovered something new. For the first time since the summer of1989, I was able to hear and enjoy the Christmas carols and the pastor’swords without trancing or flashbacking. The pastor talked aboutcommunion in a simple way, stating that the grape juice and bread weresymbolic representations of Jesus’ blood and body, “shed and broken forus.” As I hesitantly took communion at the altar, I noticed that it didn’ttrigger any ritual flashbacks. As I stood there, I received an unexpected gift. Looking straight intomy eyes, the pastor said, “Your sins are forgiven.” As I heard thosewords, icy pain threatened to flash through my body. In a split-second,I realized that I’d stayed away from church and fellow worshippers for onemore reason I hadn’t been willing to face: I’d still seen myself asunforgivable and unacceptable, undeserving of the right to be with them. After I returned to the pew and prayed, I realized that because I’d beenforgiven, I didn’t need to isolate myself from my spiritual brothers andsisters anymore. Then another revelation unfolded: I’d been starvingfrom a lack of spiritual sustenance. Every day, I’d been clinging to frayingstrands of hope, fighting blindly to keep doing what I believed wasright–all on my own. But the battle was simply too big for me. I desperatelyneeded spiritual help and strength. Feeling a deep connection with the fellow worshippers and with God,I realized that my own spirituality may be the greatest gift I can ever giveto myself. It transcends all human evil, no matter how much that evil mayyet amass around us. Those who secretly lust, conspire, and kill for powerwill rise and fall, but what is spirit will outlast them all. In spite of the evil that will always exist to some degree in our society;in spite of the many cruelties I’ve endured and may yet suffer; in spiteof the loss of important relationships; in spite of my mental, emotionaland physical disabilities; and in spite what evil is yet to come; there isstill much hope in the world. Not only do we have a God who truly lovesand cares about us; we also have a world full of people who care about

424 Unshackledeach other and want to do what’s right. I believe if we give it a chance,goodness will always win–beginning in our own hearts and lives.Notes 1. Glamour Magazine’s August, 2002 edition stated: “The average child laughs 400 times a day. The typical adult? 15.” (pg. 119) Because I didn’t laugh much as a child, I’m making up for lost time now. 2. There may be events in my past that it’s best I not remember. This doesn’t make me weak; it just proves that I, like everyone else, have a limit to the amount of horror I can endure. “There was an exploration of the labyrinth of torture and atrocity, and the recollection that we are most vulnerable to destruction when alone and beyond the gaze or recall of ourselves and others. Perhaps ultimately the realization that nothing is seemingly beyond the wit of man’s destructiveness: even the possibility that we will never know the worst that has befallen us.” (Woodcock pg. 151) 3. I didn’t know that developing empathy towards those who had brutally harmed and used me, while still feeling anger towards them, might actually be the most sincere form of forgiveness. Beverly Flanigan, MSSW, does an excellent job of explaining the forgiveness process in her book, Forgiving the Unforgivable: Overcoming the Bitter Legacy of Intimate Wounds. 4. Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, Pamela Freyd, and other outspoken members of the FMSF publicly attack the character of abuse survivors who choose to separate from their families to maintain their personal safety and mental health. One of the glaring flaws in these women’s stance is that they make the cohesion and dysfunctional stability of “allegedly” destructive family systems more important than the constitutional rights (such as liberty), survival, and sanity of their individual members. 5. Rosencrans wrote: “I’m concerned that society will not take abuse between mothers and daughters seriously because both victim and perpetrator are women. In addition, people might resist this information because they want to continue to stereotype and view women as nurturers incapable of such abuse, as non-sexual protectors, and as somehow morally ‘better than men.’” (pg. 238) Although I think the feminist move- ment has made important advances in bettering the lives of untold numbers of women (including my own), I think that we-as women-must be extremely careful not to over- look or minimize the potential of women to also be sexual predators of children. 6. Judith Viorst’s Necessary Losses has helped me to understand that it’s healthy and normal to grieve these and other personal losses. 7. I and many other survivors were mentally conditioned and programmed via trauma, hypnosis, NLP, and other nefarious methods to develop alter-states that truly believed they were fragile, controllable butterflies.
