Hi RobinSystem,

I absolutely understand. I was a newborn when my parents divorced and while I was tramatized, as I now know, I often heard "you were too young for it to affect you". 

But of course the earliest trauma is particularly damaging as it occurs as your brain's wiring is developing and your core sense of self and the world is forming. I've no doubt that your trauma was real and impactful.

It wasn't until I was in my 20's that I learned about the profound effects of trauma in the first 2 years of life. It was then I finally entertained the notion that I was not bad--that there were real reasons for my challenges.  It was validating and liberating, and I hope you come to the same realization.
