Living in the Land of Oz
Scene: Dorothy (a.k.a Cynthia) has just landed in the Land of Oz after being picked up with her house by a tornado (a.k.a Affair/Infidelity). She looks around and whispers to little dog TOTO (pitt bull/Duece) and says “We’re not in Kansas (Atlanta) any more.”
Central Characters:
Dorothy: (Cynthia or you name here)
Toto: (my pitt Duece or you insert something here)
Scarecrow: (my XH, fill in as appropriate) If he only had a brain
Tin Man: (the OW for me) If only she had a heart
Cowardly Lyon: (my MIL who knew for years and didn’t tell) If she only she had the courage to do the right thing
Wiched Witch: Divorce on a broom with all of her little flying monkeys: a.k.a triggers, lying, immorality, jealously, disrespect, low self esteem. She keeps riding by screaming “ I’m going to get you my pretty!!”
Good witch: (antidepressant) that puts red slippers made from Zoloft on my feet.
And the Munchkins (my cyber friends) who try to help me find my way back home.
The Stage: My Life
Cut back to scene: There I stand clicking my heals together so hard that there's a hole on one of my pretty red shoes, knowing that all I want is to get back home.
