Read MorePicking out the glass in the grass of the ground that I was raised in. So many false stories I made up to explain cruelty and abuse. I wish my parents had gone to therapy.
Read MoreWe’ve been conditioned to accept disrespect and abuse. European child-raising styles are often punitive and cruel. Historical Indigenous parenting styles resonate with me and my needs now. Let’s heal our sh!t and not hand it off to the next generation.
