This is so deeply resonant - the acknowledgement of carrying on the legacy of trauma and abuse with our own children is devastating and real. I relate so deeply to every word- so I'm fortunate to also relate to the reclaiming and healing. Glad you're here.

Yep. Yep. 💯💯💯💗

Well done, friend.

Your words about your childhood and how you then related and passed that onto your kids … I feel you and same. I think about this so often now. I think about how breaking free from a bad situation took me remembering who I was before all the shit and how the same can be applied to whiteness.

Thank you for sharing your truth. What is especially resonating for me is being assigned and then not fitting into what society says a woman should be and why does someone else get to make that decision. For me, no matter how I identify, I get to decide what that means!
