Thanks Rachel. That helps. At least there is some talk about prolonged childhood exposure to trauma. I mean, it is well known how trauma in childhood changes the brain chemistry, and yet so much that is discussed or researched is about adults and vets and the like. I've only seen one comprehensive article out there about child sexual abuse and how it changes the brain, I just wish there were more, and a better understanding of people who have been 'this' way for as long as they remember.
