Dr. Efrain Martinez, Middle School Principal & host of the "Wisdom & Productivity" Podcast, describes discovering why his mother mistreated him throughout his childhood and his journey to forgiving her and himself.

The story Dr. Martinez tells is profoundly moving and, ultimately cathartic.

Dr. Efrain Martinez describes a painful childhood in which he slowly realizes why his mother both physically and mentally abuses him. As a pre-teen, Efrain realizes that his mother's attitude towards him is the direct result of the fact that he and his sister are the children of a relationship his father had with a Venezuelan prostitute.

One day, years after successfully completing college, building a successful professional career, marrying, and having children, Dr. Martinez has an epiphany while rescuing a man from a burning car fire.

As a consequence of that seminal event, over time, Dr. Efrain learns to forgive his parents, as well as himself.

The story Dr. Martinez tells is profoundly moving and, ultimately cathartic.
