Hey @rickie :)
Yes, child abuse is definitely a hard one to read about and discuss. But it is precisely because of its devastating consequences that I think it is necessary to be addressed. The stats are scary indeed! But, please note that not all molested children develop DID. Lots of them develop other types of mental conditions such as PTSD, chronic depression etc.. The consequences of trauma in childhood is a real thing, for sure. And, like you said: no child is born mentally ill! And yes, to ensure your kids become confident, stable adults all you have to do is to continue providing them with love, security and care. But, it is also important to not become overprotective! :)
Lots of love to you & your little ones.
Have a wonderful afternoon and a weekend filled with joy my dear!
Lolz.....Overprotective is something I might eventually be guilty of, though. But in fairness there are a lot of vultures out there in various forms and with diverse means of perpetrating heinous acts. And we consistently hear about them every once in a while. Children, in recent years, have now been targets of various forms of abuses and assault. It is scary to think or try to comprehend of the level of moral decadence that some of our human species have undergone.
And sad as it is, victims of such acts eventually turn of to be the ones you described earlier with chronic depressions, PTSD and much more.
Anyway, you sad it all....
That's what we should all try to do. Have a splendid weekend @abigail-dantes. The weekend has finally begun, for me.
Enjoy your weekend my dear ❤️
