Melissa: 我十几岁时,父亲因强奸被捕入狱,这彻底摧毁了我的世界观,让我对爱、信任和家庭的认知支离破碎。这种创伤深深地影响了我的人生选择,我曾试图通过一段失败的婚姻来寻求稳定,但最终意识到我需要离开这段充满混乱的关系,才能找到自我。离开的过程很艰难,但我最终找到了新的开始,痛苦成为了我的老师,它让我学会以开放的心态生活,并帮助我看到他人隐藏的痛苦。我努力教育我的儿子善良、坚强、富有同情心,并用光明照亮黑暗的世界。我选择用好奇心而不是评判去看待他人,并通过分享创伤建立相互信任。虽然痛苦依然存在,但我学会了接受它,并从中找到优雅和治愈。我的痛苦已经转化为力量,它让我能够帮助那些同样经历过创伤的人。我选择以开放的心态生活,从痛苦中获得自由,并成为他人的榜样。 Andrea Gunning: 我们收到了许多听众关于在经历毁灭性背叛后恢复力强的精彩投稿,Melissa的这篇文章就是其中一篇,它深刻地打动了我们。 Mo: Melissa在繁忙的日常生活中,利用碎片化的时间完成了这篇文章的写作。她希望文章更侧重于治愈而非痛苦本身,并鼓励更多的人分享自己的故事,从而建立联系,共同治愈创伤。
