In my case, I am the only one, and I am the only one who was severly abused.
I agree, though, in some cases, it's purely biological. The question is, why?
Is the primary cause trauma, and the secondary cause biological?
In the list she gave us of the types of trauma, some surprised me.
Abuse
Divorce
Prenatal exposure
Adoption
Incarceration
Emotional abuse
Neglect
Difficult pregnancy
Early medical trauma
Foster care
Death
Premature birth
Sexual abuse
Difficult birth
Surrogacy
Military deployment
Abandonment
I'm not sure if that's the entire list, but it's the one she gave us.
