Adoptive parents are dummbasses part 4010

I'm sorry you were too stupid and lazy to educate yourself on how trauma plays itself out in older adoptees, and none of that stuff was done to "spite" you or "hurt" you, what do you want a medal?

Yes, they do (want a medal, that is). This lady should have read "The Primal Wound". So much of what she referred to is actually detailed in that book. What I find particularly hard is that the adoptive parents are portrayed as so altruistic (though it is written from her perspective so I guess it's understandable) whereas the children...I just can't put it into words, it's too upsetting. No real consideration is given to what the children are having to cope with - every day of their lives.
