Baltimore Imprint

At the age of eleven, Nina White experienced a traumatic event that held precedence over who she was and who she would become. Nina's parents divorced, leaving her to deal with the stress of family separation, her mother's new abusive partner, and the pressure from her new dysfunctional environment. Nina eventually became overwhelmed from watching her mother be abused, stabbing her mother's boyfriend, and hoping her trauma would end. Nina would silently carry the trauma of this event with her into adulthood. Later she meets Jeffery and unconsciously formulates a trauma bond. Shortly after pursuing marriage with Jeffrey, that would be filled with infidelity, verbal abuse, and physical abuse. Her search for love, understanding, and growth would lead her on a new journey. A life journey that would leave behind immovable imprints based on her experiences. Helping her cultivate a story showing how two people who grew up in symmetrical cultures came to understand love differently. After enduring childhood scars, a toxic marriage, and suicide attempts from her husband, Nina would gain insight. Leading her to know how individuals can tolerate the same traumas and rise above their circumstances as she had done or become a product of their environment. This new understanding would help her to reshape her paradigm of the Baltimore native that left an imprint on her life-enabling her to recultivate her perception of her past. This new perspective would allow her to grow, recognizing that the things that had happened to her had also happened to her-shaping her into a resilient, ambitious woman. Who rose to understand that all things are possible and her past trauma holds no precedence in her prosperous future.
