When we start looking at our family tree it is not hard to pick out traumatic events such as child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, abandonment, perfectionism, rejection, emotional abuse, physical abuse, sickness, death, divorce, etc. Any of those events, if not properly healed, can cause extreme personal and relational issues.

In my life I parented from a place of hurt, pain, bitterness, unhealed wounds, mental illness, anger, rage, broken, control, and fear as a result of childhood sexual abuse perpetrated by my biological dad. I was emotionally dead inside and for many years had very little to offer as a parent. It wasn’t about love because I did have love, but it was about being so broken that I was never able to parent from a healthy place.

It wasn’t until I was set free from the torment that started from the abuse that I was able to fully grasp my actions, choices, failures, and areas that needed to change in me. I went through deliverance (closing all doors to demons and having them verbally cast out in the name of Jesus), healing, fully surrendering to God, and learning to walk in the identity He has given me-not the one the enemy (demons) tried to give me.

It is still an ongoing process, but part of that process is refusing to ever go back to who I used to be. We owe it to our kids to heal and get free. It is time to break the generational trauma and get healthy. It is never too late and the time to start is right now. If you see patterns in your family that you know need to change start right now. If you need deliverance-get deliverance, if you need healing-get healing, if you need to learn to parent-get Godly parenting advice.

Don’t stay stuck in the cycle of trauma for one more moment. If you want to change, but don’t know how please reach out to me! I will send you resources and help get you connected with what you need to move forward in life.
