My mother started kicking me out periodically by age 16, then completely by the day I turned 18.

The living situation wasn’t exactly positive, so it was a positive in my life despite the stress involved.

I was forced to find a way to survive and work for myself, always finding viable jobs and side work.

This will not be the case with my daughter and future children.

The final part of processing my own trauma is by providing the life I didn’t get to have to my children.

I’m already saving now and will allow them to live with us on the farm house until they are financially and emotionally stable enough to move out on their own accord.

Any issues that may arise between my wife and I will be resolved accordingly and I already ensured I am always emotionally stable and non-reactive now prior to having children.

I didn’t want to have children for a long time because the last thing I wanted to do to them was repeat the cycle.

The cycle ended with me.

The same goes for my brothers.

Anything it takes.

I became the man I lacked growing up because the only other option was to continue suffering and I had enough of that bullsh*t.
