Why Parents Hurt Their Children

Why Parents Hurt Their Children | The Hard Truth About Abuse, Trauma, and Betrayal

Why do parents hurt their children?
Why was I not protected?
Why did my own parent betray me?

If you have ever asked these questions, this video is for you.

In this video, trauma therapist Sara Vandenburg, LCSW-S, CSAT, LCDC explains the real reasons parents emotionally, physically, and sexually abuse their children. We talk about childhood trauma, incest, family betrayal, addiction, mental illness, narcissism, and power dynamics. Not as excuses. As context. Because understanding reduces shame and helps you heal.

This video is especially for adult survivors of childhood abuse, neglect, and family abandonment and betrayal who struggle with self blame, relationship patterns, and feeling unlovable.

In this video you will learn:
Why parental betrayal is so devastating
How childhood trauma and attachment wounds get passed down
The role of addiction, mental illness, and narcissism in family systems
What betrayal blindness is and why it happens
Why incest creates intense confusion and silence
Why none of this was your fault
What actually helps you heal

This video names abuse clearly. If you need to pause, ground, or come back later, you are in control.
