The Not Safe For Mom Group Podcast

My Life as an Influencer Masked My Abusive Childhood

www.notsafeformomgroup.com Season 1 Episode 3

How do you learn how to mother when you grew up "basically, without parents?" Our anonymous guest talks about growing up as an autistic woman with parent figures who were detached at best, and physically and emotionally abusive at worst; and how she vowed to "become the village" she never had once she had a child of her own. But of course, like all best- laid plans -- especially when your aspirations are that of an "influencer" living a perfect Pottery Barn life -- things go quite a bit differently than she had hoped.
