Though they may occasionally notice things like breast soreness, morning sickness, or
hunger pains they, however, won't be as severe as with most

We can have understanding for a war veteran who is terrorized at night, or avoidant of loud noises and other things that resemble their traumatic experiences; yet we somehow
expect children, babies at heart, to connect, relate, trust, love, reciprocate relationship when their early life experience was marinated in trauma; being beaten for crying, left with tiny broken bones and head injuries, being used for adult sexual gratification, born drug addicted because of a mother drug use, having rarely been held in safe arms, having felt the
pain of
hunger over days, being left to cry until there are no more tears and no one to soothe.
