I am fed up with Family!

Idea that my identity is to be

Private! SECRET!

I get the impression that people are embarrassed about me!

Ashamed of me.

I have had my secret held hold me

Captive.

I am 63

My name is

Margaret Etcher Theriault Niece of

Joyce

Linda Marie daughter of Joyce Etcher.

Most important is

I am daughter of the king.

I wrote 2 books

I have whispered! About me

I have felt guilty.

I have been shamed.

Seriously? I am 63.

I am speaking my Identity.

I have every right to know about my family.

My heritage.

I am tired of pretending who I am.

I have put up for far too long.

I am weary of the silent treatment.


Oops I am ticked to the max.

I have feelings.

I refuse to gas light myself any longer or be Gaslighted.


Did I hear right .

What they did didn't matter to me.

This is all my fault.

They didn't mean to say it like that.


It matters to me that I was kept a secret. Sucks. Not socks

It is not my fault .

Yes they did say it and it hurts a lot.


It feels good to speak openly about Me.


I sign my name as

Daughter of the king

Margaret Diane, Linda Marie Etcher Theriault

Daughter and niece of

Joyce Etcher.
