Don't Touch My Hair!
Dear abundance tribe, for the next 5 days, I will share about attachment. After that, I will move on to talk about Narcissistic abuse for another 5 days.
Today, I will share another excerpt from my book.
“As I listened to Dude speak about the Don't Touch My Hair campaign, I was reminded of many things. It caused me to think about touching in another way. I thought about touching as a form of control. I thought about touching as a form of power. I thought about how touching was not limited to physical, but also psychological control. Making decisions about the hairstyles someone can make, even without physically touching the person’s hair, meant touching. I remembered how my partner used to touch my hair, by deciding my choice of hairstyle.
I remembered how he would call me disobedient if I wanted other hairstyles he did not approve of. It was sickening, Shane. He would get angry when I made hairstyles he disapproved of. He had an image of what he wanted me to look like. I did not like it. I wanted to try on new hairstyles. I remembered telling him I wanted to cut my hair. He told me women who shaved their hair, were not responsible and were mostly unhappy people. He said they were disobedient women without husbands. Oh God, there was nothing he would not say to make me doubt my choices. He always touched my hair, and would never stop.”
Today, I begin another topic in the series. What is attachment?
