Semantics

[nats]

hi orek, as usual you describe things more clearly than we do ;-). there are a lot of similarities with what you describe. our separations also seem to have started in infancy. we don't know the extremity of our history b/c we don't remember any of it, good or bad, but we can piece together a certain amount. for years we thought it must be very extreme b/c we couldn't remember. however, based on what we pieced together it makes more sense that the very early start affected memory and response patterns perhaps in a somewhat similar way to someone who had later more extreme abuse. it's guesswork, admittedly.
