I don't know that all children feel something. I think abuse started so early that I learned to numb myself. I think I was dissociated when stuff I can remember happened, so I had no feelings.

I saw this clearly when I went thru a bunch of surgeries last year. One would think cancer would be scary, painful, traumatic even...but I was numb. I just did it and didn't feel any of the anxiety a normal person would feel. My feelings are all attached to the after stuff...dis-figuration, stiffness, etc.
