Do you know what betrayal trauma does to someone's brain?
What about betrayal trauma compounded by more betrayal trauma?
Is betrayal trauma something that you want to be a part of in someone's life?
I was diagosed with Chronic PTSD in November 2024, first from personal events in my family, which have finally been ironed out, but only from the other person admitting the truth about what happened, instantly releasing me from it.
This led my brain to begin focusing on sorting out the second major betrayal, which occurred while I was still trying to just begin sorting out the first one.
What Justin and Leslee McClure did to me for their own personal gain was deceptive and wrong. If you want to be a part of that, then you deserve to be on the list on mikaelataylor.com.
Does anyone out there really think I would ever just completely give away my family business in a sound state of mind? Even in the worst state of mind, it would be absurd. Would you give away yours?
They had openly claimed to be part of my support system. I was trying to help them. They were in turn, helping me, by taking care of them while I was taking care of myself, or whatever I was doing. I still don't know. I was in a state of I don't even know. I thought I could trust them. They spent a long time acting like I could. I had no idea that it would turn into this.
Don't let them fool you. They know exactly what they did. They pretended to be my support system, encouraged me to leave my earned journalism outlets in their care, which were established before I had anything to do with them, promising to return them if I came back to Kerrville, and then stole them completely when I finally stood up and told them that it was time to return them. . .
From the moment they got control, every time I would try to get them back, they would use tactics like saying I owed them money (I realized later that they owed me money and still do), saying that they helped my family (I helped him save his company that was losing 30k a month when they sought my help, which was operating in the black not long after my arrival), and have tried to say that I outright gave them to them.
I have never outright given them my earned journalism outlets. Everything that has transpired, has happened on the premise of our deal at their kitchen table on October 26, 2022 (which that I technically was not in a sound state of mind to make anyway which they knew); that they would return them when I came back to Kerrville and they know all of this. And now, so do you.
If someone gives someone else power of attorney during a personal crisis and that person uses it to exploit them, what is that called? Is this really any different?
Every moment that my brain spends in this state, trying to sort this out, is another decision by Justin and Leslee McClure to let chronic PTSD in a member of your community continue, now brought on solely by their deception. Now, go back and watch the second video again.
