History is not there for you to like or dislike.
It is there for you to learn from. If it offends you, even better, because you are less likely to repeat it.
History is not yours to change or destroy.
"When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say"...
Respect is for those who deserve it, not those who demand it.
This is my brother, Brent Gibbons.
Someone I loved deeply. Someone I sacrificed for. Someone who repaid that love with unthinkable betrayal.
The trauma inflicted by Brent, his wife, our mother, and a system that failed to protect—the police, the courts, even criminals who targeted our family—left wounds that seemed impossible to heal. But from that darkness came an unexpected path forward: the transformative power of writing, and the introspective wisdom it provided.
This writing chronicles a journey through pain toward healing. It begins where healing must—in the uncomfortable territory of revisiting trauma, not to dwell in it, but to understand it. To transform it. To transcend it.
Some stories must be told not because they are easy to hear, but because they light the way for others walking similar paths. This is one of those. This is for me. This is for you.
This is Transcendence.

Disgust? The revulsion we feel should rather inspire change than urge to destroy...
This cactus image stands as my father's dedication to my mother—a tribute from a good man who deserved compassion, not the cruelty he endured.
Transcendence offers a unique journey into accountability and healing, revealing truths that can only be understood by walking through the fire and filth of trauma toward the light of transformation.
