Here is the answer from my upcoming book, about “POLYGAMY”!

(The Wounded Warrior Energy)

In a dysfunctional family, polygamy doesn’t multiply love it fragments it. Each added partner becomes another mirror reflecting unhealed wounds, unresolved rivalries, and unmet needs passed down like curses through generations.

A paragraph from my upcoming book.
(The Wounded Warrior Energy)
A Gender Role in a dysfunctional family dynamic”

In many dysfunctional family systems, girls are subtly groomed to tolerate emotional neglect verbal abuse, and even physical harm under the guise of obedience, respect, or “keeping the peace.” They’re taught to absorb pain quietly, to over-function in chaos, and to find identity in being the strong one long before they even understand what strength really is. This conditioning doesn’t just hurt them in the moment; it wires them to normalize mistreatment in adulthood, often entering relationships where abuse feels familiar rather than alarming. This is how many women step into the Wounded Warrior energy not because they lack power, but because their power was trained to serve survival, not wholeness.😔💔

Any woman who accepts abuse whether for the sake of her children or to meet societal expectations is operating in what we call “Wounded Warrior Energy.” She doesn’t need judgment; she needs healing.

Likewise, any man who believes it’s normal to abuse a woman verbally, emotionally, or physically is also deeply wounded and out of alignment with his true, divine self. He, too, is functioning from Wounded Warrior Energy.

A healed man will never harm a woman.
A healed woman will never tolerate abuse.

True love and divine energy can never coexist with any form of violence. 💔

Every single day, around 140 women and girls are killed by a partner. That’s over 51,000 deaths a year.

1 in 3 women worldwide will experience physical or sexual violence in her lifetime.

In the U.S. alone, 3 women are killed every day by an intimate partner, often with a fire**m.

During pregnancy, a woman’s risk of being murdered increases by 35%.

Women in abusive relationships are 16 times more likely to be ki**ed.

These are not just numbers. They are daughters, sisters, mothers, and friends.
Too many are suffering in silence. Too many never make it out.

Letter to my dear Sisters,

DIVORCE is OK.
WALKING AWAY is OK.
What’s not OK is staying in a situation that could cost you your life. Your safety matters more than appearances, expectations, or opinions.
Choose life. Choose freedom. Choose peace.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, let us remember: In dysfunctional families, gender roles often wound in silence. True healing starts when we dismantle these patterns and give both men and women the freedom to heal openly.

Preface:

The Wounded Warrior Energy:
“A Gender Role in a Dysfunctional Family Dynamic.”

By:
Dr. Mimi Fatou Ceesay.
(Journalist/ Psychologist)

In every family system functional or broken certain energies are called forth in the children. Some are molded into caretakers, some into rebels, some into invisible shadows. And then there are those who are shaped into warriors fierce, determined, relentless in their need to protect, survive, and uphold a fragile order. This book is about that warrior energy: wounded, heroic, exhausted and how it is shaped differently through masculine and feminine forms.

In dysfunctional families, traditional notions of masculine and feminine energy are often distorted. Masculine energy which at its best embodies strength, protection, direction, and resilience can become rigid, aggressive, or numb when developed in survival mode. Feminine energy ideally nurturing, intuitive, receptive, and connected can become overburdened, hyper vigilant, or self-erasing under the pressure of dysfunction. When gender roles are imposed or survival demands override natural development, both energies become wounded.

Boys raised in chaos may be taught that tenderness is weakness, that stoicism is survival. They may become hardened soldiers, denying their emotional lives to fulfill an imagined duty. Girls, conversely, are often expected to absorb the family’s pain, to tend to emotional fires while suppressing their own needs. They become emotional warriors, carrying immense burdens of guilt, responsibility, and unacknowledged grief.
