305. DARK SECRETS: How Dysfunctional Families Abandon Their Own


Listen Later

You won't believe the impact abandonment can have on a person's life. The hidden trauma, the emotional scars and the long-term effects of physical and emotional abandonment are more devastating than most people realize. Today, we dive deep into the heart-wrenching reality of what it means to be abandoned by those who are supposed to love you the most. What happens to a kid whose parents cannot cope with their own lives? What happens to a kid whose parents cannot make good decisions on their behalf? In this episode we uncover the dark secrets that many dysfunctional families keep hidden and the shocking truth about the profound impact of abandonment.


Mal Wrenn Corbin grew up in a dysfunctional family in a town plagued by poverty, addiction and violence. This is a real and raw look at the reality of growing up in a home where the needs of a child come last and how abandonment, trauma, poverty and addiction can have a long-term impact on a child’s development and sense of self. You can find Mal Wrenn Corbin at https://malwrenncorbin.com/ on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/malwrenncorbin on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/marilyn-aw-corbin?trk=public_post_follow-view-profile & Facebook https://www.facebook.com/malwrenncorbin
