Kelly Thomas has experienced abuse throughout her life; in her family while she was growing up, in her first marriage while she was pregnant, and in her second marriage when she had two young children. Although she felt like she did as much as she could to shield her son and daughter from the abuse that she was being subjected to, she now realizes that they were aware of much more than she knew. Kelly shares the guilt that she feels about putting her children through something that she knows from personal experience, sticks with a person for their whole life. Kelly has done a lot of work in order to understand how abusive relationships impact children, even if the children are not being physically abused themselves, and she advocates strongly for having open conversations about this topic as a way to prevent multi-generational abuse.
