Scenario

When couples with trauma histories struggle to parent together

My partner and I both come from families where we were hurt in different ways, and now we're parenting our 6-year-old who's also adopted and has his own history. We keep triggering each other when we're trying to be the parents we never had, and I can see our own unhealed stuff getting in the way of what he actually needs from us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two wounded people are trying to heal while simultaneously creating safety for a child who needs them to be steady.
