Some mothers don’t just drop the ball
they drop their kids straight into hell.
I was molested for years under my mother’s roof.
She knew. She ignored it.
A child shouldn’t have to trade their body for a ride to school.
A child shouldn’t have to learn survival before the alphabet.
But I did.
And I’m still here.
This episode?
I’m done protecting the woman who never protected me.
There is no healing in silence.
There is no honor in trauma.
I survived the mother I was given
and I’m becoming the mother I deserved.
