    100. When the Man Who Was Supposed to Protect You Became the One You Needed Protection From

    🎙️ EPISODE 100: When the Man Who Was Supposed to Protect You Became the One You Needed Protection From What happens when the first man who was supposed to love you, protect you, and make you feel safe becomes the very person who causes your deepest wounds? For our milestone 100th episode of Through My Father's Eyes, we're having one of our most powerful and necessary conversations yet. I'm joined by special guest Del Smith, host of Bounce Back, Black Woman!, as we explore the painful reality of growing up with an abusive father and the emotional wounds that can follow a daughter into adulthood. Together, we discuss how childhood trauma can shape a woman's identity, relationships, ability to trust, and understanding of love. We also explore what it means to recognize those wounds, confront the pain, and begin the journey toward healing. This conversation is for the woman who grew up afraid instead of protected, who learned to survive instead of feeling safe, and who is still trying to understand how her childhood experiences shaped the woman she became. In this episode, we explore: The emotional impact of growing up with an abusive father. How father wounds affect adult relationships and self-worth. The difference between surviving childhood and healing from it. Recognizing patterns that began in childhood. Finding the courage to reclaim your voice, identity, and peace. The role of faith, forgiveness, and personal growth in the healing journey. 💜 Remember: What happened to you was not your fault, and your father's actions do not determine your worth. Thank you for celebrating 100 episodes of healing, faith, honest conversations, and sisterhood with me. 🎧 Subscribe to Through My Father's Eyes on your favorite podcast platform. 📺 Watch us on YouTube: Through My Father's Eyes With Marselle 📱 Follow us on Instagram: @healingthroughhiseyes 💜 Share this episode with a woman who needs to know that her story is not over.

    99. Sis, Look How Far You've Come

    Sis, when was the last time you stopped and gave yourself credit for how far you've come? Not how far you still have to go. Not the mistakes you've made. Not the things you're still struggling with. But how far you've actually come. Maybe you started this healing journey carrying rejection, abandonment, disappointment, and pain from a father who couldn't love you the way you needed. Maybe you spent years questioning your worth, chasing love, struggling with boundaries, or blaming yourself for things that were never your fault. But somewhere along the way, something started changing. You began recognizing your patterns. You started questioning the lies you believed about yourself. You began setting boundaries. You started understanding that your father's inability to love you was never a reflection of your worth. And sis, even if you're still healing... Look how far you've come! In Episode 99 of Through My Father’s Eyes, we're taking a moment to celebrate YOU. We're talking about recognizing your growth, honoring the little girl who survived, releasing shame, and giving yourself permission to celebrate progress even when your healing journey isn't finished. Because healing isn't about becoming perfect. It's about becoming free. And as we prepare to celebrate our 100th episode and launch our next chapter on YouTube, I want you to remember: Your father may have affected your beginning, but he does not get to determine your ending. 💜 LET'S CONNECT! Instagram: @healingthroughhiseyes PopCall: https://popcall.com/healingthroughhiseyes DM me the words “LOOK HOW FAR I'VE COME” and tell me one thing you're proud of overcoming on your healing journey. And don't forget to share this episode with another woman who needs to be reminded that her progress matters.   Get Your Healing Journal on Amazon: Through My Father's Eyes Healing Journal: Cook-Morrison, Marselle: Amazon.com: Books Contact me @throughmyfatherseye@gmail.com

    98. Who Are You Without The Father Wound

    Sis... Who are you when you're not trying to prove you're enough? Who are you when you're not chasing somebody's love? Who are you when you're not waiting for an apology? Who are you when you're not fixing everybody? Who are you when you're not being the strong one? And who are you when you're no longer simply trying to survive? Maybe you've carried your father wound for so long that you don't know where the wound ends... and YOU begin. In Episode 98 of Through My Father’s Eyes, we're shifting the conversation from: “What happened to me?” to: “Who am I beyond what happened to me?” Because healing isn't supposed to make your wound the center of your identity. You are more than rejection. More than abandonment. More than the little girl who wasn't chosen. More than the woman who learned to be strong because she felt like she had no other choice. We're talking about survival becoming identity, protection becoming personality, rediscovering your dreams, allowing yourself to experience joy, and learning to see yourself through God's eyes instead of through the eyes of the earthly father who disappointed you. The wound happened to you. The wound is not you. There is still a woman underneath the survival waiting to be discovered. And sis... it's time to meet her. 💜 CONNECT WITH ME PopCall: popcall.com/healingthroughhiseyes Instagram: @healingthroughhiseyes After listening, DM me: “I'M DISCOVERING ME.” Then tell me one thing you're discovering about yourself that has absolutely nothing to do with your wound. And share this episode with a woman who has been surviving for so long that she may have forgotten how to live.   Get Your Healing Journal on Amazon: Through My Father's Eyes Healing Journal: Cook-Morrison, Marselle: Amazon.com: Books

    97. You Keep Choosing What Feels Familiar, Not What Feels Healthy

    Sis, have you ever looked back at your relationships and wondered: “Why do I keep choosing the same kind of person?” Different face. Different name. Different relationship. But somehow... the same feeling. Emotionally unavailable. Inconsistent. Hot one day and cold the next. You're constantly wondering where you stand, chasing communication, making excuses, or trying to prove that you're worth choosing. But what if what you're calling chemistry is actually familiarity? When inconsistency was part of your first experience with love, consistency can feel strange. When you spent childhood chasing your father's attention, chasing someone else's attention in adulthood can feel normal. In Episode 97 of Through My Father’s Eyes, we're examining how father wounds can influence the relationships we choose and why women sometimes repeat patterns they desperately want to escape. We're talking about the difference between familiar and healthy, why peace can feel boring when you're accustomed to chaos, and why you may keep trying to get a different ending from the same type of emotionally unavailable person. Sis, you cannot heal the original rejection by continually recreating it. You don't have to keep choosing what hurt you simply because you recognize it. You can choose differently. 💜 CONNECT WITH ME PopCall: popcall.com/healingthroughhiseyes Instagram: @healingthroughhiseyes If this episode makes you recognize a pattern you're ready to break, DM me: “I CHOOSE DIFFERENT.” Tell me what you're choosing differently. And share this episode with another woman who keeps asking: “Why do I always end up with the same kind of person?” Maybe it's time to stop choosing what feels familiar and start choosing what feels healthy.   Get Your Healing Journal on Amazon: Through My Father's Eyes Healing Journal: Cook-Morrison, Marselle: Amazon.com: Books

    96. Grieving The Father You Needed But Never Had

    How do you grieve someone who's still alive? How do you mourn a relationship that existed—but never became what you needed it to be? Maybe your father is still here, but the relationship you dreamed about never was. Maybe you're still waiting for the phone call. The apology. The acknowledgment. The “I'm proud of you.” The explanation. The moment when he finally understands what his absence, rejection, inconsistency, or actions did to you. Sis, sometimes you're not grieving the man. You're grieving the father you needed him to be. In Episode 96 of Through My Father’s Eyes, we're talking about a type of grief that isn't always recognized: grieving the father-daughter relationship you deserved but never received. We're talking about releasing the fantasy of who you hoped he would become, accepting what you cannot change, and learning that your healing does not have to wait for his apology, acknowledgment, or transformation. You can love your father and still tell the truth about what hurt. You can forgive and still have boundaries. You can hope he changes without putting your life on hold waiting for it. And sometimes healing means taking that little girl inside of you by the hand and telling her: “Baby girl, you don't have to wait here anymore.” 💜 Connect with me: PopCall: popcall.com/healingthroughhiseyes Instagram: @healingthroughhiseyes If this episode speaks to you, DM me: “I'M DONE WAITING.” You don't have to tell me your entire story. I'll know exactly what you mean. And share this episode with another woman who may be grieving a father who's still alive. Sometimes she doesn't need someone telling her to get over it. She needs someone to remind her: What you lost was real—even if it was something you never got to have.   Get Your Healing Journal on Amazon: Through My Father's Eyes Healing Journal: Cook-Morrison, Marselle: Amazon.com: Books

    95. Stop Chasing The Love He Should Have Given You Freely

    Sis, what if the reason you keep chasing unavailable people has less to do with them—and more to do with the little girl who spent years trying to get her father to choose her? Maybe you learned early that love had to be earned. So you became good enough. Helpful enough. Successful enough. Quiet enough. Strong enough. Anything to finally feel chosen. But then you grew up... and the audition never stopped. Different man. Same chase. Different relationship. Same need to be chosen. Different face. Same wound. In Episode 95 of Through My Father’s Eyes, we're talking about how father wounds can teach women to chase love, overgive, tolerate inconsistency, fear abandonment, and mistake anxiety for chemistry. We're also confronting one powerful truth: Your father's inability to love you the way you needed was never proof that you were unlovable. You don't have to spend your adulthood trying to earn the love you should have received freely as a child. It's time to stop asking: "How do I make them choose me?" And start asking: "Is this relationship choosing me too?" 💜 Connect with me: PopCall: popcall.com/healingthroughhiseyes Instagram: @healingthroughhiseyes If this episode speaks to you, DM me: “NO MORE CHASING.” Tell me what you're finally done chasing. And share this episode with one woman who needs to hear: Sis, you don't have to convince anybody that you're worth loving.   Get Your Healing Journal on Amazon: Through My Father's Eyes Healing Journal: Cook-Morrison, Marselle: Amazon.com: Books

    94. You Don't Get To Control Me Anymore - Taking Your Life Back After Father Wounds

    What happens when you finally stop waiting for the man who hurt you to apologize, change, understand your pain, or give you closure? You start taking your life back. Sis, your healing does not require his permission. In Episode 94 of Through My Father’s Eyes, we're shifting the focus from what your father did to what you choose to do next. You cannot rewrite your childhood. You cannot force an apology. You cannot make someone become the father you needed. But you can decide that his choices will no longer control your confidence, relationships, dreams, boundaries, peace, or future. We're talking about releasing the need for closure, separating your identity from your wound, recognizing survival behaviors, making healthier choices, and giving yourself permission to build a beautiful life after pain. It's time to say: You hurt me, but you do not own me. You affected my story, but you do not get to write the ending. 💜 Connect with me: PopCall: popcall.com/healingthroughhiseyes Instagram: @healingthroughhiseyes DM me “I'M TAKING MY LIFE BACK” and tell me what you're taking back—your peace, confidence, voice, dreams, boundaries, joy, or ability to love again. Then share this episode with another woman and remind her: He doesn't get the rest of your life.   Get Your Healing Journal on Amazon: Through My Father's Eyes Healing Journal: Cook-Morrison, Marselle: Amazon.com: Books

    93. He Hurt You Then - Why Are You Still Letting Him Control You Now

    He may not be in your life anymore, but is the pain he caused still making decisions for you? Maybe your father abandoned you, rejected you, failed to protect you, or never gave you the love and affirmation you needed. Years later, you may still struggle with trusting people, receiving love, setting boundaries, or believing you're enough. Sis, he already took enough. He doesn't get your future too. In this episode of Through My Father’s Eyes, we're talking about the uncomfortable ways a father wound can continue controlling your adult life—even when the man who caused it is no longer present. We'll talk about survival patterns, fear of abandonment, making new people pay for old wounds, forgiveness, boundaries, and learning to separate what happened to you from who you are becoming. Your past may explain some of your wounds, but it does not have to control your future. 🎧 Listen, reflect, and then ask yourself: Where is the pain caused by my father still controlling my life today? 💜 Connect with me: PopCall: popcall.com/healingthroughhiseyes Instagram: @healingthroughhiseyes DM me “HEALING” if this episode speaks to you and you're ready to start confronting the places that still hurt. And share this episode with one woman who needs to hear: He already took enough. Don't give him your future too.   Get Your Healing Journal on Amazon: Through My Father's Eyes Healing Journal: Cook-Morrison, Marselle: Amazon.com: Books
