As much as we try to escape from cycles in our life or try to break patterns, somehow we always end up back in those patterns.
Imagine growing up in a home where chaos is the norm, and safety is a distant dream. This episode of Steppin' Out Radio brings you Tia's harrowing yet inspiring story. With a father addicted to cocaine and a mother lost to alcohol, Tia's childhood was a minefield of abuse and neglect. She vividly recalls the bathroom stained with her father's blood from his needle use and the constant absence of her mother.
The violence at home pushed Tia to act out, making her a violent child herself. But her story doesn't end in despair. An observant teacher and a caring grandmother stepped in, moving her to the suburbs and opening a door to a new life. Tia's journey is one of resilience, showing how she fought to break free from the destructive patterns that once defined her.
She discusses the challenges of building self-esteem and finding hope through Al-Anon, even as she faced additional hurdles like an accident that left her partially paralyzed. This episode is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of support and love.
