How to raise children spiritually after religious trauma

My sister and I are both trying to figure out what to teach our kids about God and spirituality but we were raised in a tradition that hurt us and we keep getting stuck between not wanting to repeat that damage and not knowing what to offer instead. Our kids are starting to ask questions and we feel responsible for giving them something true but we're still figuring out what that is for ourselves.
