𝐓𝐇𝐔𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄"The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody," meaning that allowing your children to be subjected to violence and hatred only intensifies the cycle, making it harder to break.
When a child is repeatedly abused or moved from home to home, they don't have the ability to bond with any one person which can result in the child "shutting down" in a sense and learning to survive by not attaching. Not attaching often equals protection of their heart, soul, and mind.
They are less likely to hurt when they put up a strong defense. It isn't easy to help these kids attach, trust, and love. It can take years if not a lifetime of counseling. In severe cases, the child grows into a teen with conduct disorder and then as an adult with psychopathic or sociopathic behaviors.
While psychopaths are classified as people with little or no conscience, sociopaths do have a limited, albeit weak, ability to feel empathy and remorse.
She remembered no one at all. She remembered one day thinking: I am alone. There is no one but I. She lived in the dark. She taught herself to walk in the light, though it was not easy.
