In a very raw and emotional episode, Beth and Emily talk about their encounters with abuse and how that shaped their parenting. This episode is a bit longer than typical for Momfessions, but it is an important one that reflects on the generational damage caused by abuse and the hope cycle breakers can bring. It’s not an easy question to answer — how can you parent well after surviving abuse — but it’s one paramount to explore.
