Sending hugs to you dear Fuzzybear and Purple Violet Blue for the difficult childhoods you suffered.
I was labeled a bad child from being days old. I believe the midwife at the hospital did try to stick up for me.... That fell on deaf ears as it was much easier to blame an innocent babe....
No wonder baby TS cried. Of course babies in my family of origin weren't allowed to do that. It is for the best, that I cannot remember the words, abusive tones of voice and other abuse...
Hugs and respect
