But love had conditions. Survival had rules. And silence was the price of staying.\n\nBy sixteen, I had already learned how to disappear—into alcohol, into drugs, into the arms of men who didn’t care if I made it out alive. By eighteen, I was a mother, barely keeping my head above water, raising a child while still a child myself. When I got pregnant again at twenty-one, I knew one thing for sure: I wasn’t going to drag another innocent life into my chaos.\n\nI gave my second son up for adoption. It was the hardest, most gut-wrenching thing I had ever done—and the first truly selfless choice I had ever made. It was also the moment I began to understand my own worth.\n\nTrauma Recycled is about breaking the cycle. It’s about the people who helped me when I couldn’t help myself. It’s about the ones who failed me, and the ones who saved me. And most of all, it’s about a mother’s love—the kind that lets go so her child can have something better.\n\nThis is my story. The unvarnished truth. No pretty endings, no neatly tied-up lessons—just the messy, painful, beautiful process of learning how to live when life never gave you the tools.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DXQ4RMS3\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0DXQ4RMS3.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Peshka, Anne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43332177461309,"sku":"BVV.B0DXQ4RMS3.VG","price":12.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/B0DXQ4RMS3-0.jpg?v=1783576707","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/trauma-recycled-a-memoir-of-adoption-abuse-and-healing","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
