This came highly suggested in a Google search. While I‘ve reconnected with my faith, That wasn‘t the draw. Just trying to learn to be a more present, less anxious and triggered mom. Just out here trying to break generational trauma- no easy task. This was honestly only ok. Pretty mediocre as parenting books go.

Avanders There‘s this book re breaking generational trauma I was looking at… have you read it? 2mo
BethM @Avanders I have not, but The body keeps the score has been referenced in a lot of my trauma informed trainings. 2mo
Avanders Yes that‘s another one — I have it in the house somewhere but haven‘t read it yet either… 2mo

1- both, though if I can wait for paperback I will just bc of cost.
2- always fiction
3-either just no WW2
4- recent, I usually find “classics” boring.
5- coffee in the am, tea whenever
6- both though I tend toward physical
7- both, I need to be surrounded by books

Saw this recommended a bunch. Engaging and pretty solid.

MaureenMc I haven‘t read this one yet but it‘s on my shelf. 4mo
BethM @MaureenMc it definitely held my attention. I was raised Catholic and left, but am now coming back to my faith. Until recently I‘d never experienced anti Catholic sentiment so this perspective really captivated me. 4mo
MaureenMc @BethM I‘ve read Hahn‘s The Lamb‘s Supper & would recommend it. It seems that many of the current “famous” Catholics are converts who grew up with, or were at least surrounded by, anti-Catholic beliefs. I find their stories quite fascinating, actually. Godspeed on your journey. ❤️ 4mo
