Roo,

I know this is an old post and I don't know about my infancy, but I wanted to make a comment about neuro-development. There is a mountain of peer reviewed research in support of the permanent negative impact of neglect, deficient bonding and the lack of physical affection on early childhood development in the literature. I have severe C-PTSD and many other dx resulting from neglect and abuse and I have no doubt that our brains did not form in a "normal" fashion. I believe that these problems are permanent and that we have been given a life sentence of fear, inability to feel close and safe and altered neurophysiology.

PTSD- the gift that keeps on giving
