this makes a lot of sense to me. if there isn't something physiological going on with the infant then i'd think there is something in the environment that would lead the child to "reject" the parent.

am i confusing you with someone else or haven't you said that you were beaten as a child? if i'm remembering correctly that you were beaten was it the parent that you didn't "accept" that later beat you?
