Raising Them, Raising Me (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781970577945)

Sacha Michailides grew up in a world where survival was a skill, not a choice, shaped by teen parenthood, substance struggles, and abuse. From an early age, she witnessed destructive cycles repeating themselves and questioned whether she was destined to repeat them too. Years later, she stands not as someone perfected, but as someone determined, messy, flawed, healing, and actively breaking generational patterns to build a life on her own terms.

This book is not about having it all figured out. It is about real life, the good, the hard, the absurd, and the ongoing work of parenting children while also learning how to parent yourself. Through raw honesty and lived experience, Sacha explores small victories, hard-earned lessons, and the courage it takes to choose a different path from the one you inherited.

For anyone who has felt trapped by their past, overwhelmed by the weight of parenting, or uncertain whether healing is truly possible, this book offers both reassurance and direction. It is Sacha Michailides' story, but more importantly, it is a roadmap for becoming the parent, and the person, you were always meant to be.
