Fox on Family. Parents who are also survivors of childhood sex abuse, can face parenting hurdles from their trauma. "One mother said I don't drop my child off at anybody's house where I don't know every single person that's gonna be in that house because I'm so terrified."
But therapist Teresa Gil, who's written a book about survivor moms, focuses on their strength and resiliency. "We need to look at the courage of these mothers and we need to be able to harness their desire to want to be better mothers."
Using their insight to break a cycle of abuse, protecting the next generation.
Doctor Gil says an important part of that strength is a support system. "Someone that they can talk to about mothering, discuss issues around how to manage certain behaviors with their kids, or just know that somebody is there for them."
Something we all want to pass on to our kids, how to build those healthy relationships.
