Trauma is an experience that several of us experience, but we never know how it will impact us in our adulthood. For mothers that carry that trauma with us and continue to repress it, it can show it's ugly head without us having any control over it. I had the pleasure of interviewing my mother, Earnie, and I listened to her share her story of abandonment from her own mother, physical abuse from her grandmother and first husband as well as becoming a first time mother at a young age. From this story I find that it's important for us all to take inventory of what we feel like we're carrying with us that shows itself in the way we parent. And to remember that counseling is always an option to help us heal.
