I’ve been silent

Why post here? I’ve got a web page, I’ve got social media. There are lots of places I could speak up. But there are family there, friends, acquaintances that know me, know my name, where I live. My character has already been assassinated, he’s made sure of that. And he’s a saint, he’d never do such things, according to his family.

I don’t expect anyone to see this. I’m half hoping no one does. My voice has been muted for so long, it would feel really strange if anyone spoke back. The other half of me says: Hear me! See me! I’m telling the damned truth!

I am disabled and there will be times – perhaps long stretches of time – when I can’t post. I’ve gone a year or more with my head down, in survival mode. I will be using this blog as a diary. The diary of a disabled abused person. Spoken over, ignored, invisible, a burden, a waste of space and water.

My strongest wish is his family learns what kind of person is truly is. Perhaps at the trial.
