When we grow up in chaotic or even dysfunctional families, we learn unspoken rules and messages. While necessary to the survival of a child within that family community, outside of that environment, these messages do not make sense and can even be harmful as they continue to revictimize trauma survivors.
5 of the most common unspoken messages that childhood trauma survivors carry into adulthood are:

1. You must forgive or even ignore bad behavior.
2. Relationships will be painful.
3. Trust is not guaranteed in relationships.
4. It’s your fault. Whatever it is.
5. It's not safe to turn to families for support.

It is important to remember that these messages were formed due to years of dysfunction, abuse, or mistreatment, and that they are not true. Doing the work to unlearn these harmful messages can be done through educating oneself to heal the hurt and trauma from years of lies and replace them with the truth.

Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the United States, and mental illness affects tens of millions of Americans each year. It is also preventable and treatable. Stroke is the # 5 cause of death in the United States.

New research finds a link between the two, as psychiatric illness is found to raise the risk of stroke. People who have survived a stroke may experience mental health conditions and changes in addition to physical impairment. Their day-to-day lives may also be affected.

Fortunately, many of the disabilities, as well as emotional and behavioral changes caused by stroke tend to get better with time. Treatment and social support are crucial at this time, to help them cope and recover.

Fighting for mental and emotional health is not simply about reading your Bible and praying more. There are spiritual, mental, emotional and physical components to full recovery and freedom. Many great leaders and prophets in the Bible walked through times of despair, depression, and discouragement—yet God used them regardless. God can and does use whom He wishes.

Also, people are fighting mental health challenges every day when they come to school, work or church and they’re stuck in their challenges. Most of these people have to go to school, work or church feeling like they don’t have a safe place to talk to anyone. They’re not able to talk to anyone because they feel unsafe or trapped, isolated or alone. It doesn't have to be this way.

Feel free to seek help, pray about!

Deadbeat Fathers: A father who neglects his responsibilities as a parent, especially one who does not pay child support. Which can also be a mother. The phrase "deadbeat dad" is a familiar one, and yet it's often misused.
While the word "deadbeat" actually appears in some states' child support guidelines, not all parents who've fallen behind on child support payments are willfully refusing to support their children financially. There're huge financial, cultural and racial issues that are prevalent and ways to compartmentalize, assist, dealing with and correcting the stereotypical behaviors. From the 1970s to the 90s, the federal government implemented multiple harsh enforcement measures within the program. These policies have a long history of punishing people for being people of color and poor. Overall, roughly 15 percent of all men of color in larger U.S. cities have been incarcerated at some point for nonpayment of child support, compared with 5 percent of fathers overall. Men wake-up and take care of your children (period).

Slavery and racism historically prevented and disrupted Black marital unions and continues to plague the Black community and Black relationships today.

In the aftermath of slavery, the states denounced courtship and marital arrangements that American Africans devised during slavery and presented Christian heterosexual marriage as a gateway to responsible citizenship, targeting men of color to be social patristical provider and women of color to be subordinate helpmates.
Enter now policies that worked against people of color men and women. It would be these policies that would create an unprecedented displacement of Black families with men being forced to leave their homes to ensure financial stability.
Now for Christians, people have analyzed what the Bible is really telling us and how to interpret it. Many hold tightly to the claim that God’s view on divorce is that it is a sin.
