No Dumping

I am no longer accepting narcissistic abuse

No Dumping

PUBLIC NOTICE

Effective immediately,

this area is no longer designated

for disposal.

Unauthorized dumping is prohibited.

This includes but is not limited to:

emotional refuse,

projected shame,

manufactured crises,

and unprocessed versions of your childhood.

This site has reached capacity.

It has been inspected.

It has been found wanting relief.

Items once accepted in good faith

are now classified as hazardous.

Repeated exposure has resulted in erosion to self esteem,

mental health contamination,

and structural fatigue not visible from the road.

Do not leave your anger here

with the expectation it will be sorted.

Do not stack your false apologies beside the fence

and call it accountability.

Do not mistake access for consent.

Violators will be turned away

without explanation.

Appeals will not be heard.

Silence does not indicate failure of enforcement.

This closure was not sudden.

Warning signs were posted internally

for years.

They were ignored.

They faded.

They were repainted.

They faded again.

This is not punishment.

This is containment.

For your reference:

I am not an emotional landfill.

I am not a holding zone for your lack of self.

I am not a convenient place

to unload your mental issues and drive off lighter.

Thank you for your cooperation.

This boundary is now active.
