Self-Destructive Resentment (Revised) Poem by Margaret Alice Second

There is a pattern here: Mother's financial support
is received from people with such clear resentment
towards her she appears the victim - yet in his book
"Breakthrough Experience" - Dr Demartini says
there are no victims, only people choosing certain
experiences - in mother's case she married dad
whose diction is worse than a sailor's

Dad supported her while showing her no respect,
later on in life mother gave my sister's furniture
away and tried exorcism on me - which led to my
incarceration in a state mental hospital, running
the risk of never getting out again; luckily Tannie
Yvonne and Prof Piet DuPlessis got me out, I was
saved not my mother but by Strangers

Mother's later interest in my brothers' lives led
to their financial ruin, she's currently involved in
my sister's financial affairs and sis treats mother
with disrespect and resentment yet I can't say a
word in mother's defence, who is emotionally
blackmailing my sis into paying all credit accounts
and expenses; my sister hates her life:

WHY does mother's involvement invariably lead to
financial ruin and moral disintegration - as it emerges
she propagates a theory she's doing my sis a favour
by staying with her, despite my sister's so palpable
resentment; I had to flee the lightning, mother
cannot stay with me as I wish to protect my little
family from such consequences

How can she bear disrespect of people she duped into
caring for her financially - they make no bones about
their resentment; without trying to understand how
mother blackmails people until they resent her in self-
destructive ways I vow to keep my little family out of
her reach while giving my sister the support that might
set her free from self-destructive resentment…
