July 19, 2021 by Ikeranda Smith in black fathers, black mothers, fatherhood, Inner child healing, love, parenting, motherhood, relationships, family

I am product of abuse. Physical. Emotional. Sexual. I say this because most of my life, I would never have admitted such a truth.

The nerve of me right? All fractured + frantic for someone not understanding the work that it really required.
