Parents Breaking Generational Trauma—what’s Your Story?

Parents Breaking Generational Trauma—what’s Your Story?

Both my husband and I came from difficult, abusive backgrounds. When we started dating, we made a pact to never yell over small things like spills or accidents. One day, my six-year-old son accidentally knocked over a large iced coffee, spilling it all over the living room rug. My husband paused, looked at the mess, and simply said, "Looks like we need some towels." He and our son worked together to clean it up while I grabbed the vacuum.
During this, my close friend, who was visiting, suddenly disappeared. I found her crying in the bathroom. She explained that when my son spilled the coffee, she felt an intense knot in her stomach and her whole body tensed up, overwhelmed by flashbacks of how she would’ve been treated as a child in a similar situation. But when she saw my husband calmly handling the spill, it triggered a wave of emotions. She was deeply grateful that we were raising our son in such a healthy, calm environment.
That moment made me realize something important: we’re breaking the cycle of toxicity that was passed down to us. We’re giving our son the childhood we never had, one built on patience and understanding.
