Unmothered: Raised by Survival, Redeemed by Love by Danielle Delarge
Where do you turn when the person who should love you most is the source of your greatest harm?
When we think of home, we often think of a safe space filled with warmth, love, and tenderness. But Danielle’s home was anything but. Her formative years were filled with sharp words that cut her soul, fists that bruised her skin, and a mother who proved every day she didn’t want her around at the time. Men who were supposed to keep her safe used her for their own pleasure, and with each encounter she grew more and more invisible.
The hope of a fresh start in a new town left Danielle homeless and pregnant at 18. She masked her pain with alcohol and cocaine abuse-a pattern modeled by her father. Just when it seemed like the silence that tried to shroud her would win, she found healing in unexpected places. The warmth and kindness of a family, the guidance of a therapist, and the notebooks that held her voice paved the way to her recovering herself.
In this raw telling of her early life, Danielle shows us firsthand the harm an abusive family can cause, and the great strength required to be the one who breaks the cycle. As you read this story you will weep and cheer as you follow Danielle’s journey from a turbulent life to a jubilant one.
