I read that article the other day. I am so sorry for all your experiences there. It was horrific. I know you didn't only experience abuse of different sorts but you would have also missed out on the necessary developmental parts of childhood - positive attachment to a benevolent caregiver, a sense of belonging etc. I wish yu all the healing energy you can find for yourself!

I didn't grow up in an orphange but did experience severe ongoing abuse from my family members, so I can relate to the abuse and lack of normal developmental experiences. Healing is a hard road. Some things can't ever be made right.

We do however get to make them as right as we can in the circumstances we find ourselves in. Best wishes on your journey.
