A history of sexual trauma
“Another thing passed down is sexual trauma,” states Jackson. “There can still be a lot of shame around that topic. If a mom was sexually assaulted, and something happens to her child, there can be times when the mother doesn’t know how to handle it appropriately, because of her own wounds. She means well, but it just doesn’t go as planned. She isn’t in a position where she can help with the healing, but rather causes more hurt [unintentionally].”
