As both a mother and a survivor of abuse, I know firsthand that we are the ones who have the capacity to stop the cycle of abuse within our own families and communities, so our children don’t suffer through the same pain we had to endure. It’s our job to protect, nurture, and guide our children while teaching them about healthy relationships.

The Pain of Childhood Trauma

As a young girl, I remember sitting on my small bed asking God, why do people act the way they do? I couldn’t understand why my father was so distant and full of rage. I wanted answers! How can one person be so kind, my mother, and another be so angry, my father. My childhood was more than just a little complicated, it was full of uncertainty, fear, and emotional turmoil. This was my normal, but there was nothing normal about it.
