Like many of you who’ve generously shared your sto Like many of you who’ve generously shared your story with me through the years, I’ve walked this brutal path of living through a life-altering smear campaign, too.

A Lament for a Smear Campaign 
.
(And other types of narcissistic abuse)
.
For the ways we have been slandered for telling the truth, 
.
We grieve. 
.
For the ways that reality has been contorted so we can no longer recognize it, 
.
We cry out. 
.
For the ways relationships were weaponized as part of the harm, 
.
We lament. 
.
For the ways those causing harm are celebrated, 
.
We dissent. 
.
For the bodies that were made to carry shame they do not own, 
.
We honor. 
.
For the ways you meet us in the valley of the shadow, O God—
.
We remember. 
.
Selah.
