1) I am not sure if the naming is cultural or not,

but at every family event,

He would point to one of the cousins

and they were put on the spot,

if you could name everyone in order,

you did receive a reward and every year

the list got longer.

It is cultural to name your ancestors

back for 7 generations

and my grandfather could do that

maybe to remember past and future family members ?

2) There is a member at the forum

that knows the story of Danusia

an European goddess,

she told it to me when I first joined.

ok so trigger warning




my family doctor approves of this as

part of my reclaiming


When I signed up for the internet

years ago..............

My rapist helped me sign up




Danusia was her pet name for me

and she was going to email me

I never changed it

partly because of the European Goddess

and partly because it became part

of my Name day celebrations

another European tradition

that she introduced me to

and I still celebrate


Names and naming are both

powerful symbols and acts.


I am enjoying the questions

About my blog

This is basically my space to spill out everything I'm thinking and feeling.

Please note that some of the content here may be triggering.

What I write here is just me being honest with myself. Mostly just venting about things, realisations, and my path through healing.

There will be talk of CSA, SA, R, SI and ED here.
