I'm reading a really fantastic book called primal wound. It helps adoptees to understand themselves a lot better, and it helps adoptive parents understand what their children are most likely going through.
One memorable statement in the book was something that really resonated with me. Its stated that most adopted children figuratively sit up in their cribs as babies and think to themselves well I'm pretty much alone in the world and there's nobody that I have to count on but myself.
That really resonates with me because of how abusive and neglectful my adoptive parents were, not to mention that I'm adopted... I do still basically feel that I can't truly count on anyone
