I watched on and it was very triggering to me.
I did not realize how triggering it would be. How bad it would make me feel because I was in too much fear as a child to even act out enough to communicate how bad things were. That no one came to my rescue that I suffered in silence my entire life. On top of that my first instincts were to back hand the kids in the face. I have not changed at all. I am just as evil in my heart as I always have been.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
