Parenting after trauma

When you parent after your own trauma, you carry both your wounds and your fierce determination not to pass them on, which can make you hypervigilant, rageful, or frozen at moments when your child needs you present. Healing enough to be the parent you want to be is not about erasing your history—it's about knowing when your past is speaking and choosing what happens next.
