One of the amazing things occurring today is the candid outcry of cycle breakers. Each one teach one but for the breaker of a family’s dysfunctional ways this saying has much meaning. Wearing this title brings with it a loneliness that can’t be compared to any other. Yet cycle breakers seem to be blind by the requirement of standing alone. Why I don’t know . . . its another one of those roles for the few and proud!
If I had a dime for every cycle breaker that I’ve met I would have enough money to pay for my groceries for a month. Whether out of self preservation or an innate desire to aid in the evolution of man, voices are rising to say I experienced ‘it’ and ‘it’ will go no farther than me. This in and of itself deserves praise but many ‘breakers’ forget that as such there will be few if any in the immediate family who understands. Melancholy could and does rise as the search within the unit for someone to reasonably talk to that knows all the family secrets goes on without an end in sight. Therefore, even though these individuals are warriors of light they’re still caught in a form of darkness . . . they’ve forgotten that cycle breaking in a two generational thing. The lessons and decisions of today must informatively be passed on to the leaders of tomorrow in order for a new way of doing things to grow roots.
Without telling specific children the detailed solutions to generational defects, cycle breakers will one day have a slight feeling that all of their pain and suffrage was in vain. Giving birth to the child does not guarantee that they will make certain your branch of the family tree will forever remain altered, if both sides of the situation is not explained and experienced. Ah, that’s where the everyday alliance comes in even during those rough days- remember that children are souls with their own goals. Now I’m not advocating that children are place in situations that they can’t handle but who better know your true beliefs and feelings than that small person that lives with you.
I take much pride in the job that cycle breakers are doing and encourage each that cross my path to keep their sword sharp and their shield near. Yet I am obligated to remind them that God always provide the resources needed to get the job done . . . use them.
So often when one speak of unsung heroes the title of teacher, firefighter or garbage man comes to mind; but for me cycle breakers are the true thing. I salute you!
Angel Lahalel, I ask that you give creativity, love and good fortune to the cycle breakers of the world.
