I showed T a pic of me at about 7months old. I am laughing and said I find it difficult to relate that laughing to what we know about my very early life.

T said "when babies are neglected they either go psychotic like those Romainian babies we saw in orphanages, or they learn to over engage for survival". She then said "I find you very engaging and don't know how your step mother was able to resist that".

I actually liked that T said that.
