Kim Feenstra is processing traumas from her childhood. The 36-year-old model is “cleaning up” herself so that her past doesn’t affect her one-year-old son Brooklyn, she writes in her letter. Instagram Stories.
“I’ve been getting a lot of flashbacks from my childhood lately. I’m currently cleaning up a lot in myself,” Feenstra begins her message. “It’s an emotional process. I didn’t process events, but I parked them and kept going.”
“I’m healing. The traumas of my childhood and the traumas of my family. It’s hard. But when I look at my child, I know I’m doing it for a very good cause.”
Feenstra shares her experiences, because she says she often felt alone. She hopes that people with similar problems will recognize themselves in her story and know that they are not alone. “I now acknowledge the pain instead of keeping myself big. That is tough. And heavy. I cry a lot. But that is to be able to heal. Not to linger in the sadness.”
Feenstra had a son in October 2020 with her partner Stanley.
