He shares the reality of carrying childhood trauma into adulthood, the fear of repeating the same cycle of abuse, and what it was like to live with the thought that he might hurt his own future family. We discuss: • Why he was afraid of becoming a father because of his childhood trauma • Growing up with an abusive father and intense anger as a child • Why forgiveness is a choice before it becomes a feeling • The painful journey of forgiving an abusive parent • How healing changed the way he became a husband and a father If you’ve ever struggled with fear of becoming a parent, childhood abuse, unresolved anger, or breaking generational trauma… this episode is for you.
