  Summary

  Obviously it was something Finn had triggered — that wasn't unusual. Catra had a lot of feelings when it came to motherhood and her own, messed up childhood. The first time had been just a few hours after Finn was born, when Catra had burst into tears and been absolutely inconsolable for hours. She eventually told Adora that she couldn't imagine anyone looking at a baby and thinking it belonged in the Fright Zone, with the Horde. But usually she held Finn closer during those moments. She had never pushed them away.
  —————
  A reflection on generational trauma, and how hard Catra works not to pass her own problems on to Finn.
