Interesting... I would say any type of childhood abuse is damaging. In fact, speaking personally, I may even go so far as to say that the neglect and psychological abuse in my childhood have possibly caused me more anguish than the physical and sexual abuse.

It's all horribly shocking, but that parents are the main abusers is harrowing

Thanks for sharing Jamie. I'm just learning myself that we are more likely to suffer with autoimmune disorders too!
