Child abuse...

[Slightly edited during the day, really needed as the spontaneous, impulsive I am]. Some more loud thinking, quite spontaneously:

A person wrote that

“Small children are beaten because they are too young to tell anyone else.”

I thought further on this, and think that you can do a lot of other things too to small children because they are too young to tell anyone else; not only beat them, but ignore, abandon, meet them with the Wall of Silence etc. to make them compliant, and of course abuse them emotionally in different ways (humiliate them for instance), and not least sexually. And sexual abuse in different forms are much more usual than we imagine? And many of us deny what sexual abuse actually is? As we deny other forms of abuse and what abuse actually is too...

And what you have learned at an early age sits steadier in the spine (or backbone)…

Frightened for being abandoned; I came to think how it was when I and my siblings were born; the newborn baby was taken from the mom immediately to become bathed! What has this caused? Was this the first occasion the child was abandoned? And as a baby the child had no words to express its feelings with...

Both my parents were born at home. But was this birth less traumatic? Or traumatic in other ways?
