Being a parent has helped me heal from many traumatic events in my childhood. I had to really think about what I needed as a child and how I could do things differently. In this episode of Dem Bois Podcast, I share some of the verbal and physical abuse I faced, some of the things I didn’t want to repeat as a parent, and some things I did want to bring into the relationship with my child. Remember, you can’t help what your parents did to you, but you do have the power to heal from it. The generational trauma can stop with you!
