I realise now partly why none of the family of origin were able (or willing) to comprehend my words at all. They were simply dialed into a different wavelength.

(amongst other reasons....)
An aunt told me how their family (her, her husband and their three children) were all ''afraid'' of me because I was ''so quiet''...
(I do not recall any of them taking the time to try to talk to me or get to know me, in fact I remember all of them shunning me when I did talk
They were not kind people. Even as adults the ''children'' were exceptionally cruel. I have no contact with any of them.
At least I do not have that ''problem'' now
Papa bear tells me I talk far too much...
