 I had shitty parents too brother 🫂

For anyone like me and Gigi, the only way out is through. 

You won’t heal from your traumatic childhood until you fix somebody else’s. I look at my five year old who’s thriving and I can’t tell you how proud I am that she has lived her entire life trauma free. 

That’s because of me. I did that. If I didn’t exist or I had died early in her life I wouldn’t have been able to ensure that was the case. 

Knowing I am the cause and protector of her good life… it heals something very deep within me. 

The only way out is through my bros. You got this.
