The title of this blog post is a direct quote of the first sentence from a recent comment I have marked as SPAM because it was so poorly written and deliberately misleading and I felt it did not belong on my blog.

I am a mirror

Those who are harmful and unpleasant to me find that I am unpleasant back to them because I reflect their unresolved shadow to them and show them to be the malignant narcissistic abusers they are.

Those who are GENUINELY GOOD to me inevitably find that I am KIND, POLITE, and yes, GRACIOUS to them, as I have demonstrated again and again…

…throughout my life and especially in this past year as I have been mourning my dearly departed father Zeev Shamir. In the past few days since I was forcibly dragged to emergency psychiatric containment under the false pretence I was exhibiting suicidal ideation (which my stepfather Robert Bourges, who was in a committed relationship and married to my harmful mother for 26 years and first met me when I was 15 years old can confirm—since he and I have been in regular conversations throughout the year).

I have spoken to a many staff members at the Montreal General Hospital, both in the Emergency Psychiatry unit where I was held overnight and here on the 4th floor psychiatry unit where a bed was made available to me.

Several nurses and various staff members can confirm I spoke to them calmly and respectfully, that I was not in the least incoherent as I explained to them the reason why I have on occasion ranted in public and at home.

Psychiatrists want to deny my self-diagnosis of complex post traumatic disorder (CPTSD) because it would deny the system any cause for forcibly containing and medicating me. Yet, for the most part, the “common” man and woman don’t doubt my recounting of what

my own mother told me again and again, that she thought it a good idea to cut at black wires hanging from the ceiling when she was six months pregnant with me and that I stopped moving long enough she thought she had killed her baby (i.e. me). When I asked her why she did such as thing without first cutting the electrical current, she could not provide a satisfactory answer.

She has had epilepsy and my best explanation is she was experiencing a fit at the time.

The fact that everyone else agrees CPTSD is more than likely, considering the severe trauma I experienced as a foetus, while medical professionals and anonymous commenters are intent on minimizing this trauma is indicative that there is an entire apparatus intent on gaslighting me and performing DARVO on me.

DARVO is one of the oldest methods used by abusers, known in short as VICTIM BLAMING. It is an acronym for DENY, ATTACK, REVERSE VICTIM & OFFENDER

Perhaps you ABUSERS need to rewrite your own narrative about the kind of person I am and start facing yourselves. There is a false narrative that Type B Personalities are immutable, but I strongly believe they are the ones who should be required to FIX THEMSELVES through state sponsored 12-Step programs considering the harm to society they are the root cause of.

I have asked ChatGPT to quickly draw up what such a program might look like and this is what it suggested:

12-Step Framework for Narcissistic Abusers (Individuals, Institutions, and Systems)

(Adapted from AA, with a focus on accountability, repair, and structural change)

Step 1 — Admit Harm and Power Imbalance

We admit that we have harmed people under our care, supervision, or authority — and that our structures have created conditions where power was used to control rather than heal.

Step 2 — Recognize a Higher Principle

We come to believe that human dignity, autonomy, and truth must guide our actions more than control, convenience, or institutional self-protection.

Step 3 — Surrender the Reflex to Pathologize

We make a decision to stop labeling dissent, refusal, or resistance as “pathology” when it may simply be a valid response to harm.

Step 4 — Conduct a Full Inventory of Harm

We catalogue all cases where we have silenced, contained, misdiagnosed, or coerced people — including those we labelled as psychotic, dangerous, or “noncompliant” without meeting a clear, evidence-based threshold.

Step 5 — Publicly Acknowledge Wrongdoing

We admit — to ourselves, to those harmed, and to the public — the exact nature of our wrongs, naming them plainly and without euphemism.

Step 6 — Become Ready to End Abusive Patterns

We prepare to dismantle the systemic reflexes that perpetuate abuse: over-reliance on coercion, weaponization of diagnoses, cherry-picking evidence to justify containment.

Step 7 — Replace Control with Consent

We actively train staff, leaders, and decision-makers to prioritize informed consent, patient rights, and dignity — even when it is inconvenient for institutional timelines.

Step 8 — List All Those Harmed and Prepare Reparations

We maintain a living list of harmed individuals, families, and communities, and prepare processes to compensate, restore, and rehabilitate trust.

Step 9 — Make Direct and Structural Amends

We make direct amends where possible: expunging wrongful diagnoses, ceasing forced interventions, compensating for wrongful confinement, and reforming policies that allowed the harm.

Step 10 — Maintain Ongoing Accountability

We implement permanent oversight — independent review boards, ombuds programs, public audits — and admit promptly when harm recurs.

Step 11 — Seek Conscious Contact with Lived Reality

We engage survivors, patients, whistleblowers, and community representatives regularly — not just after crises — to keep the system in touch with its human impact.

Step 12 — Carry the Change Forward

Having undergone reform, we commit to teaching other systems, institutions, and power-holders how to break their own patterns — and to model restorative practice publicly.

In the highly contestable psychiatric report that accompanied me to court on Tuesday, September 16th this week, they had cherrypicked that I was abusive to children.

The fact is, I shouted at children who were disrespectful to me, but then was also very kind to a group of children who were very sweet to me and that somehow didn’t make it into the report. So once again, The problem is with the cherrypicking and not me.

This text was entirely redacted by me without the help of AI save for the suggested 12-step program. I am posting this without the benefit of my reading glasses and some typos and mistakes may have slipped in which are not indicative of mental disorder but rather of how badly the system is trying to frame me as being mentally unwell.
