Absent Parent, Present Pain (Audio only)

Greetings family!

Today's episode is the first installment of the new series on parent-child relationships for Season 2- Healing My High School Self.

In this episode, Tiffany chats with Jen about the impact of having a semi-present/absent parent and what that experience felt like for her as a teenage girl. She unpacks a little bit about the daddy issues she had early on and how they were able to heal a lot of that and build a beautiful father-daughter relationship.

Although Tiffany's story may sound unique, research shows just under 50% of Black children under the age of 18 are being raised by a single mother in the U.S. This can sometimes lead to a lack in available financial resources, less quality time and care as well as future risk for socioeconomic losses/instability. Not to mention the social and emotional impact having one parent can have on children and how this might cause children to show up in different areas of their lives. This is part of the reason we've chosen to shed light on the situation.
