I should edit that to say that I was emotionally neglected as a child, but it wasn't traumatic for me. Certainly not in the early years. I didn't know any different. It just always was how it was. I guess it became traumatic in later years though, for other reasons. I get hung up on the definition of words, but please don't think I'm saying that neglect is any worse than any other thing, if that makes sense. I just like to be able to define things
