🎙️ EPISODE 100: When the Man Who Was Supposed to Protect You Became the One You Needed Protection From
What happens when the first man who was supposed to love you, protect you, and make you feel safe becomes the very person who causes your deepest wounds?
For our milestone 100th episode of Through My Father's Eyes, we're having one of our most powerful and necessary conversations yet.
I'm joined by special guest Del Smith, host of Bounce Back, Black Woman!, as we explore the painful reality of growing up with an abusive father and the emotional wounds that can follow a daughter into adulthood.
Together, we discuss how childhood trauma can shape a woman's identity, relationships, ability to trust, and understanding of love.
We also explore what it means to recognize those wounds, confront the pain, and begin the journey toward healing.
This conversation is for the woman who grew up afraid instead of protected, who learned to survive instead of feeling safe, and who is still trying to understand how her childhood experiences shaped the woman she became.
In this episode, we explore:
-
The emotional impact of growing up with an abusive father.
-
How father wounds affect adult relationships and self-worth.
-
The difference between surviving childhood and healing from it.
-
Recognizing patterns that began in childhood.
-
Finding the courage to reclaim your voice, identity, and peace.
-
The role of faith, forgiveness, and personal growth in the healing journey.
💜 Remember: What happened to you was not your fault, and your father's actions do not determine your worth.
Thank you for celebrating 100 episodes of healing, faith, honest conversations, and sisterhood with me.
