Momhood Heals Lindsay Hubbard's Past Wounds

Lindsay Hubbard's journey into motherhood has brought unexpected healing, profoundly impacting her relationship with her own past. Embracing her role as a mother to her 19-month-old daughter, Gemma, has helped Hubbard address deep-seated emotional wounds that therapy alone had not fully resolved. The unconditional love she feels for Gemma has made her realize she could never abandon her child, a stark contrast to her own childhood experiences.

This transformative experience has also clarified Hubbard's decisions regarding her estranged mother. While her mother has not reached out, Hubbard finds peace, stating that her daughter's presence validated her choices. She began intensive therapy after filming season 1 of Summer House, recognizing the need to process abandonment issues. Although she acknowledges that fully overcoming her mother's abandonment might be impossible, therapy has provided her with tools to manage and react to these feelings, enabling her to be a more present and supportive mother than she had.
