Life Unwasted

Ramblings of two adult Missionary Kids interviewing other MK’s about our past, and present.

Unbelievable, but not surprising: https://t.co/wVCKfGd4kB

A 2024 Ethnos360 document accuses a missionary of, "acts that meet the Ethnos360 definition of child sexual abuse," and yet his name is still not on their list of perpetrators. Parents in his community have no way of knowing what E360 leadership knows.

This India #missionarykid was a joy to interview... When you strip away all the BS that we were taught growing up, what's left? A really good human... That's who Jason is!!!

@gracepeacelove7 If ‘perfect love casts out fear,’ then what does it say about those who cling to order and control out of fear? Where does that fear come from? Could it be the absence of love?

Toilet Sharks and Horse Girls… We had an incredible experience interviewing these two PNG MK’s about reconnecting after so many years of putting their #missionarykid experience behind them!

Adult sexual abuse survivors who were abused in California anytime after January 1, 2009 have until December 31, 2026 to file suit against their perpetrator and/or the organization responsible for failing to protect them. 

If you’re a survivor of abuse seeking justice, we are here to help with professional guidance and compassionate legal support.

@gracepeacelove7 As a missionary kid… Who grew up in a country that had a lot of political turmoil… I never thought that I would experience such things in my own passport country…

We had an incredible interview with our second Mexico #MissionaryKid . Tiffera has an MA in Forensic Psychology, and is currently enrolled in a MA in Counseling program. Give it up for our second Mexico MK!

@K__Mayfield @courtneyellis We would LOVE to have you come and tell your #missionarykid story on our podcast! So many of our listeners have requested you… lol! Come share you trauma in the MK safe space…

@collateral_360 MK’s will never get justice as long as sending organizations are spending their resources on attorneys instead of providing resources for missionary kids in recovery.

[Collateral.damage360 @collateral_360]

I shouldn't be surprised that Theresa Sidebotham came up in this episode, but somehow I continue to be heartbroken by this attorney, an MK, betraying MKs over and over again, making $ and protecting institutions and abusers at the expense of missionary kids.

@TraumaN4mdWitch Why would you trust someone with your emotions… If they can’t handle or make space for their own…? Why would you expect someone to be compassionate towards you if they can’t be compassionate towards themselves…?
