Beauty Gonzalez on generational trauma she experienced with her mom: 'It wasn't her fault'
Beauty Gonzalez opened up about the generational trauma she carries from experiencing violence at home growing up.
On Wednesday's "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda," the King of Talk revisited a previous interview Beauty gave, where she talked about her efforts to end the cycle with her own daughter, Olivia.
Beauty said she has already forgiven her mother.
"It took me time to realize kasi siyempre, hindi ko naiintindihan bakit ako, bakit ganito ginagawa niya. Eh wala naman ako nung time na ginagawa ng parents niya sa kaniya," she said.
"I have to stop it with Olivia and that's my challenge every day kasi it's not like a one-night thing na nawawala eh. Buong buhay mo 'yan nadadala eh, so it takes time talaga.
When asked what kind of violence she experienced, whether verbal or physical, Beauty said, "Lahat."
However, she said that it was not her mom's fault.
"I don't want her to be like in a bad light naman, Tito Boy, but yeah, I had those experience, and it took me so long to realize na it wasn't her fault," she said.
At present, Beauty just hopes to make more good memories with her mom, whom she praised for being a very hard-working person.
"And 'yan 'yung namana ko. I love to work, like dapat balance 'yung family and work for me," Beauty said. "Growing up, lagi siyang nasa work. Bina-value niya 'yung work. Nakikita ko 'yon."
Beauty is married to art curator Norman Crisologo. Olivia is their only child.
She is returning for another season of "Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis" with Senator Bong Revilla.
