I hear you. I hear my child’s stories. I cry at night sometimes. How did I not know? I think that broken families beget broken families and the pain is so familiar that it does not break through to the consciousness of a parent abused.

I couldn’t have said that better—brokenness and familiar pain. And I wish you and your child healing and peace.
