A child, from newborn to three, is extremely fragile. Human newborns are totally helpless and dependent on Mom. That does not change seriously until after the age of five when the brain is more developed.

I am saying that hypersensitivity has nothing to do with it. All newborns and toddlers are hypersensitive! The human brain develops more during the first three years than at any other time.

My brother got traumatized during his first two years because Mom thought she could have her child and immediately dump it off on another woman to take care of during this first two years!!! It seriously emotionally traumatized him!

So when I was born, my Brother is a little psycho two year old. He becomes obsessed with making me cry. When I was born, Mom left me with a maid/nanny and went back to work. I was not totally alone I had my psycho two year old brother to be with me. He was a surrogate parent for me. The maid/nanny had too many house chores to do to truly interface with the children. So my first three years of life involved being tormented by my brother all day long.

This was where all my mental health problems originated. I was traumatized enough to develop PTSD and a dissociative disorder. I never was allowed, in my home, to overcome the trauma and was kept in a state of shock because the abuse continued my whole childhood.

My sister got seriously emotionally traumatized because she was sent to live with my Aunt at the age of two. She did not know them! Dad put Mom in a mental health hospital for two to three months. The adults seemed to know that it would traumatize my sister but there was no follow up loving and nurturing when my sister was brought home!! She never recovered! She never felt like she was loved and wanted after that. My brother tormented me every day so I did not show her that love and attention because I could not keep me mind on anything! Neither of my parents, who had upper level educations for their generation, had a clue! Neither of them gave my sister the love and support that she would have needed to get over the trauma. Her quality of life was destroyed because my parents did not have any common sense about the emotional and psychological welfare of their two year old daughter.

Bad parenting is more a cause of mental health issues than genetics!!!!
