We Are Out of the Loop
A child cannot tell an adult,
So, she tells a good friend
Her secret, something that is too burdensome for the other child
But she warns her not to tell anyone
So, the other child feels anxious, helpless and sad.
Which is a pattern we see often.
Or don’t see
Based on how much
we are or are not told
Being the enemy – an adult.
