Complete Transparency: Exposing Unresolved Trauma

When the brokenness felt in most underserved communities reached my home, I instantly realized how disadvantaged and at-risk my child was. I learned my commitment to her care was not enough. I had to eventually accept that educating myself on best practices for mental health approaches developed to help a child such as her was doing more harm than good. More importantly, I had to acknowledge my love was never going to be enough. At this point in time, I realized that I was just as much a victim of repeated exposure to trauma as the daughter I would have to learn to let go.
