Damage done

Month 8 of the hostage crisis. I remember Ted Koppel’s evening announcement. Each night I wondered how this could possibly end as it went on and on, and abnormal became normal, and we all grew accustomed to living in captivity. Each in our own soul and in our own mind in our own anguish. i don’t think anyone knows which night it became status quo, but it did.

As is the missing of my daughter.

I now can’t imagine how it could ever go back to her being in my life.

The stipulation has been filed ordering an evaluation and assessment as to why I’ve been estranged from my daughter. Even if the narcissist is found to blame, how can his damage ever be unraveled? Did the hostages ever return to normal. I don’t think it’s possible.
