Innate vulnerability...

Got tips about articles from a Norwegian friend that one of three of us living here in the north have genetic predispositions for vulnerability!!! I haven't had time yet to read those articles.

Now I got a reply from her that she is so tired (and even hate) hearing about this!!! I can well understand. And I get tired too!!!! She wondered why are noone ever (???) talking about "perpetrator-genes"?? Where is the research about those genes, the "perpetrator-genes"?? But about genes for vulnerability (have they found those genes by the way??) we can speak and write. Once and again.

And what would the normal reaction be on continuing abuse and violations maybe (or most probably, even in very subtle form maybe) since childhood?? Do the experts understand how it is to live with constant fear for violations? Constant fear between each trauma? Do they have any idea how this feels from inside?? How it is for a child with no help after each occasion of abuse? After humiliations?

Yes, what is a "normal" reaction to abuse? Is it normal not to react??

And with these ideas about an inherited vulnerability the perpetrators get "evidence" that it is something wrong with the victim!!! (parents towards their children, other abusers later in life towards their victims). Not with what the perpetrator does really, or with the perpetrator, not what's wrong with him/her?? Why not one can wonder!??

Contempt for weakness isn't it!!?? And empathy deficits!??

Yes, it was this about biomedical scientists scoring high in tests on empathy deficits...

Came to think of the therapist saying to his client since many years something about (over)sensitivity... How was it Miller wrote about the passion to diagnose among psychiatrists, clinical (??) psychologists etc.??
