The more we heal holistically, the more we become aware of the shortcomings of our parents and the way they raised us. It’s neither about blaming them for our trauma. Nor is it about making excuses for their behavior, especially if they keep resisting change and accountability. Our parents’ own trauma may explain their toxic and dysfunctional behavior, but it’s not an excuse for continuing to unleash their shadows on others.
Self-awareness and healing for the sake of our children
