May our brothers and sisters who are still in bondage be freed….

For those of us with a mental illness, emotional trauma or addiction, there are a number of ways in which we can fall under the “control of a puppeteer” or experience spiritual/psychological bondage.

Obsessions, compulsions, ruminations, addictions to substances, addictions to behaviors, toxic co-dependency, and victimization by narcissists are but a few. All are sick and torturous ways to live.

To a mentally or emotionally healthy person, it’s easy to judge and disparage a person trapped in one or more of these viscous cycles.

But the reality is that people under the control of these sadistic puppet masters are powerless to cut their strings and free themselves from bondage without help and support.

May our brothers and sisters who are still in bondage be freed….
