Understanding my parents helped me tremendously. They didn't just begin their lives when they became parents. If more people took the time to gain this knowledge, there wouldn't be so much judgment and estrangement going on. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This kind of inherited trauma is insidious. I’ve had grief and anger to deal with rooted in my father’s traumas of WW2 Germany. And on my mother’s side similar horrific things her parents were exposed to. Now it’s my continual responsibility to heal and work to not repeat.
My Mom died of breast cancer when I was 16. She never spoke of any childhood traumas so I have no idea. She had a temper like my Irish grandfather who was a boot legger and a tough guy. They apparently lived a middle class life in times of the depression. She never spoke of any abuse but she would get mad at grandpa when he'd say something smart. he and grandma didn't like my father. I don't b lame them. He never spoke of any trauma either. He served in WW2. He was psycho. Beat the hell out of my brother. Held us in a cold shower for dancing in the rain. I know the things they did were wrong. My mother tuned out, my father's taking his frustrations out on us. Ii figured if I didn't repeat those things with my kids we'd be ok but I'm sure I was not the perfect parent. I tried to be June Cleaver and other mother's from our neighborhood. My husband, although an intelligent man repeated his traumas on the children. I had to step in and call police. He was traumatizing his family. I could have been a better mother to my kids if I didn't have to deal with that.
The most powerful thing we can do is heal the trauma that is in our body today. When we heal our trauma, our relationships with those around us shifted to something healthier, even if those around us don’t like it. We work with helping people heal trauma all over the world online and even some in person downtown Vancouver in Canada.I really appreciate you taking the time to write. Let me know if you have any questions. Take care.
Is this a common story? My German grandfather was in a Russian jail/concentration camp for 4 years & his daughter (my mother) had a child out of wedlock with a US GI. Her parents raised him & my mother moved overseas to start a "new life." I hold my breath constantly, am in flight mode frequently, & experience mistrust & anger towards people from my past. 😟 I imagine most people have this epigenetic baggage. No?
We all carry some sort of trauma passed down to us. I appreciate that you know the story. Yes it is extremely common that there are unaddressed issues in people’s family histories, especially related to things like wars. These things can be healed. We work with people on issues like this all the time. We hold the trauma in our body, and if you connect to the physical sensations that occur when you are triggered as possible to change how you relate to those sensations. We work with people online all over the world, and I run in person, trauma workshops for men as well in person in Vancouver Canada. Thank you for taking the time to write. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Same. But I'm healing for me. Never wanted kids and never gonna have any. I'm almost 40 ❤
Understanding my parents helped me tremendously.
They didn't just begin their lives when they became parents.
If more people took the time to gain this knowledge, there wouldn't be so much judgment and estrangement going on.

It takes courage to face those shadows from the past, especially as how they inhabit us. Thank you for taking the time to write.

"Epigenetic baggage." Good one. Using that in the future.
