Sticks and Stones

September 5, 2015 By in All Confessions, Psychological Abuse-child

 

A disturbing pic with a powerful message!

Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones by H. J. Warren

“Sticks and stones may break my bones

But words could never hurt me.”

And this I knew was surely true

And Truth could not desert me.

But now I know it is not so.

I’ve changed the latter part;

For sticks and stones may break the bones

But words can break the heart.

Sticks and stones may break the bones

But leave the spirit whole,

But simple words can break the heart

Or silence crush the soul.”

Sticks n stones m

Sadness of the American Family

September 3, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child

 

A very revealing pic of divorce!  The Dopamine Clinic shown TWO times! Dad is on the phone-is he working or ignoring his family?  Is that REALLY the quintessential message of the American father?  Mom is interacting with the child, smiling.  Child looks out with no smile-representing???? The two green creatures with arms crossed in the upper left corner are curious.   On the left side, upside down is a piece of pleading paper (used in legal proceedings…  upside down may represent how divorce turns lives upside down?  The overall fragmentation and collage of pics and jewelry-the brooch.  

The ever-present, shattered glass! 

“This image was created by the artist to depict the inevitable sadness that accompanies the splintering of the modern family in American life.”

War

September 3, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child

 

A descriptive analogy of divorce!  Exposing a child to parental conflict is like engaging in a tug-of-war of words and actions.   No one benefits when communication requires a referee to the games that parents play.  Be mindful that Divorce is between the parents-ABOUT THE CHILD!

Please Son…

August 30, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child, Impact on Child

 

WOW!  Excellent portrayal of divorce from the child’s perspective!

Artists’ verbiage:

Dad:  you have to understand why I had to leave you with your mother… 
Son: the only thing that I understand is that my father doesn’t care for his family… You made my mom cry…. 
Dad: Look… I know I have done the most horrible mistake for get the divorce with your mother… But now I want to get her back… 
Son: No… You don’t deserve my mother’s love… And you never will… You left her when she needed you more than anyone… 
Dad: I just need a Chance… Please Son… “

Divorce Sadness

August 22, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child, Impact on Child

 

An artist uses their talent as an outlet to express sadness about their parents divorce.   This is an effort to cope with the emotional loss of their parents divorce.  They are trying to deal with the many questions any child may have when thinking about the reality of their parents separating.    This seems to be a common response to the unfortunate scenario for any child to experience.

The Parent Crap

August 22, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child, Impact on Child

 

 

This artists shares the family tension that exists.  The title states the essence of this artwork.  Apparently, no event is immune to parental conflict!  Even at a joyous occasion such as a baby shower for their grandchild to be-the parents are unable to play nice.  How stressful for everyone!  The artist states: “unfortunately Molly’s divorced parents are still shooting daggers at one another and Molly is still in the middle.”  

A sad and realistic depiction of divorce.

Leaping Sheep

August 13, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child

 

A creative expression of divorce from one artist.  This seems to be a collage of emotions showing many unique themes.  

The girl peering out from behind a wall.   She has one eye.  Does this represent something she has seen and does not want to see again?  Or does this mean that no one is really looking at her? 

There is the year 09?  A year of significance for her? The year her parents’ divorced?’

The words ‘ok’ so may signify the question of what will happen next?

The black creature wearing a cowboy hat is somewhat curious.  

The sheep leaping over the fence may indicate something with sleeping?  

The black V sideways indicates anxiety.

Something is Missing

August 13, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child

 

Stunning artwork! This child is surrounded by a very large inventory of toys! Yet, she appears very sad. Two parents appear in the shadows. Both parents are on the phone, in what appears to be, a heated conversation. The look on the face of this young girl is captivating. Has she experienced hearing her parents fight before? Will her parents notice their daughter and tend to her emotional needs? Seemingly, regardless of the number of toys, overhearing harsh words by the two people she loves, adores and trusts may be confusing and disruptive to her emotional world.

What Divorce Does!

August 1, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child

 

This graphic piece of art is the work of an adult  child of divorce!  The flames consume the page.  The eyes at the forefront are so sad. The presentation of the child seems to have a demonic quality.  If you look closely you can see another set of eyes in the flame.  Divorce damages the perception of family for some people.  VERY ALARMING!!!! (No pun intended.)  This is a horribly graphic depiction of divorce!
