Today’s topic is about a time when Hera refused to help. And this is about a time when I needed to get MYSELF out of a bad relationship that had actually been emotionally abusive from the very beginning, even though I hadn’t realized it from the very beginning. She allowed me to realize over time about how the person I was in a relationship with was systematically isolating me from any possible support system and even trying to discourage me from any sort of polytheistic religious expression because I would be identifying myself with a “fringe group”. Although I still like to believe that this person did what they did out of a fear of being alone, it was still fifteen years lost.
