84. From Foster Care to Thriving Marriage with Micaiah Gray
from Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding Beauty After Battles & Thriving After Surviving Trauma · host Heather Gaffney - Author, Artist, and YouTuber; Storyteller, Warrior, Survivor, Thriver & Faithful Catholic
Welcome to Episode 84 of the Warrior Words podcast! Micaiah Gray did not see healthy marriages modeled in her life. She lived in a dysfunctional household for the first five years of her life. Then spent time in multiple foster care homes, and finally was adopted by a single mother. I am not saying foster care is bad (though some is). I'm not saying single mothers are bad (most of us are not). But what I am saying is that most of the time, children do not get to see or learn what a healthy family is like, living in these situations. And that was true for Micaiah. However, through some eventual training and help, she was able to forge a healthy marriage with her husband, and they now use their knowledge to help others.
