Thank you for sharing this. I also had a parent, who growing up, loved me but wasn't "warm and fuzzy." As I became older, I learned more about their earlier trauma, and how generational trauma is incredibly impactful and long-lasting. I was not a perfect parent either, by any means, but I tried to be aware and I tried to give my young children what they needed despite what I needed. I also put in a request for the power of regret at my local library! Thank you for sharing your words with us.
So true, Molly! We are unaware of all that we inherit from our parents. Your children benefited, I’m sure, from your saying, “it ends here.” Thanks for reading and I hope you like Power of Regret as much as I did.
