This is so important to remember, Granite.

You were surviving as best as you could manage despite neglect, and abuse. The adults were responsible for looking after you, the child. Not 'the adults were responsible for looking after you IF you behaved a certain way' but responsible full stop.

Babies cry, it's what they do. Some of them practically never stop for months, because of colic or because they are high-needs babies in other ways. That is always going to be hard for parents but is NO EXCUSE for neglect.
