“Sometimes we don't get to understand things. People. We just got to try to be better than the things that spit us out. I don't know why my momma like she is, but I love her and got to keep on with it. I can't make the people I love no different. I can't change the past. All I can do is love myself and my kids enough to move forward. Love my people where they is and fight like hell not to let nobody else mistakes—nobody else pain—break me ever again.” FamilyIntergenerational Trauma Book:Perish Source: Perish
