Content warning: domestic violence, family violence, child-to-caregiver violence, sibling abuse, cultic abuse, religious abuse, abortion, and mental illness.
Mary Garden is a mother, educator, journalist, author, survivor, and advocate from New Zealand. She was born into a family with a great deal of history and many layers of generational trauma that normalized abusive behavior from as early as she can remember. However, it wasn’t until escaping her family home, eventually forging her own family, and healing through writing and speaking, that Mary truly began to understand the impact of her journey. The Broken Cycle Media team is so grateful for Mary’s advocacy, openness, and grace while discussing the ongoing tragedy of familial and sibling abuse.
