Sometimes it's the hurt within that triggers actions that can never be reversed. In this episode, the topic of a mother who killed her 2 children based on a childhood trauma is discussed.

Becoming a parent changes your life. You find the ability to adjust and do things that you never thought were possible and/or feasible. Having kids to care for and look up to you can become a motivator to be the absolute best you can be.

When you really think about it, your first experience with love starts with your parents. Whether it's a Mom & Dad or Just Mom or Just Dad household, the love you experience during those moments as a child makes a difference. It took C a while to realize this, but it eventually came full circle.

The struggle continued for C and not in a good way. She had moved on from what felt like slavery into a forced relationship with her mother who temporarily recovered from her addiction.

Even at a young age, Controlling C knew something was up with her mother. She watched as she transformed into a MomBeast, but there was nothing that she could do about it. Her once happy life started to turn upside down and all she could do was buckle up for the ride.

The classified "Control Freak" & the relationship with her own mother.

If it's never going to change, sometimes it's just best to shut the door. This has been a process of sharing a bit of my life, but also a bit of therapy.
