Absolutely not. Far too many children have had nightmarish childhoods throughout history and not only survived, but became valuable and effective adults and parents.
Whatever was done to you was NOT your doing and NOT your fault and is not a reflection on the person you are or the person you can be.

That makes sense. The trust muscle is like any muscle. Start exercising it slowly and carefully.
Trust somebody to show up when they say they will. Then trust them not to embarrass you at a coffee shop. Slow but sure. @Justenjoyit

@Starcrossed I just feel I dont connect with people unless they have been though something similar.

@MarkPaul I think so too, I have over come all of it but it has left me different and something I will never get back.

@Justenjoyit Exactly. We can (and should) certainly overcome our past experiences that left us traumatized. But, they don't simply erase themselves. While it's nice to fantasize about restarting with a "clean slate," each of our experiences are indelible... even the ones we have blocked from remembering. On one hand and perhaps the bright side, that makes us who we are, but it does leave us "damaged." That being said, it doesn't have to be a death sentence, so to speak. But, the cold reality is, the damage doesn't disappear.
