Ending Generational Trauma

I finally got to hang out with my 14-year-old niece who just came back from a trip to Europe; England and France. I enthusiastically asked if I could see pictures and I was happily surprised that she didn't take pictures! Before I continue, here's my relationship with her: she came to America with her two older brothers and mother. The mother is openly racist to bipoc communities so fuck her for that, but I do appreciate her stance on abortion because her oldest son got a girl pregnant and she paid for the abortion. Doesn't excuse her racism, but I'm very happy I didn't have to take care of another child. My niece is more of a daddy's girl, like her aunt (ME). My brother (her father) can be quite invasive, even making rape jokes in front of his young, strong daughter and sister (again, ME). He even kicked me out while I was temporarily staying with them for simply defending my stance about how he treats his family. He's also a recovering gambler.

The fact that I openly and freely discussed the trauma of our families is so important! She knows I'm atheist, but I admit it is difficult for me to accept the fact that she does believe in Jesus and God. Although, she knows that Jesus wasn't white. I'm simply so proud of, not only her, but me! I can die happy knowing that I've ended generational trauma in my very Catholic family.
