Can Single Mothers Overcome Bad Experiences With Men And Still Raise Good Sons?

Mothers are expected to be nurturing and loving to their children, but sometimes negative personal experiences can hamper a woman's ability to show love. Childhood neglect, abuse, abandonment, rape, and other emotional traumas often leave deep emotional wounds that do not heal.  Then women seek relationships with men with the expectation that the love from a man wil heal the hurt in their hearts and it doesn.t They sometmes turn to alcohol and drugs for comfort and these mood alteringsubstances also don't help. So what happens when a wounded woman has a son? Often the hurt is spewed out at the child in the form of verbal and even physical abuse. The son passes on his anger at his mother with mistreatment of women when he becomes an adult. How do we begin the process of healing in order to stop the cycle of hurt? Author Evangelist Beverly Brown discusses the stories of three women who overcame cataclysmic life changing experiences by turning to spiritual healing, in her book Anointed Women Called to Preach The Gospel.
