We see the abuse. We hear the cries and screams. We're on the run with the victim. And although we never volunteered to play, we're often dealt a bad hand in the game. We're overlooked and mislabeled, and we suffer in silence. We cry ourselves to sleep and have nightmares about the flashbacks. As adults, we self-medicate to ease the pains of our troubled pasts. We are the children in domestic violence homes. We are the Forgotten. Millions of children worldwide are exposed to domestic violence every year, and over forty million adults grew up in homes plagued by the epidemic. Tiffany Mensah is one of the statistics and brings to life a real and raw perspective of the effects of growing up in a violent home. Though successful in academia and her career, Tiffany's childhood trauma was bleeding into her promising future. As she tried and failed to suppress the memories and refused to address the trauma, she was met with dead ends, further wounding her spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. But the cards she was dealt didn't take her out of the game. Tiffany's healing and spiritual journey from the storms of her past to the restorative calm of her present propelled her into her life's purpose--to let you know that you aren't Forgotten.
