Silence Moves

This is a collection of stories about my journey to find answers to the challenges surrounding my relationships with my mother, father, and grandparents, especially during my childhood and adolescence. I have explored these challenges in the context of "cultural norms," "traditions," and the ancestral or collective trauma that has been passed down through generations.It reflects on a journey that started when a stroke incapacitated my mother. It delves into the silence that moves through generations surrounding abuse, alcoholism, and my parents' lived experiences, uncovering how these issues have shaped my life as I strive to heal from unanswered questions, lost parental love, and trauma.They tell stories of disappointment, resilience, hope, and the understanding that not everything can be answered, recaptured, forgiven, or forgotten.
