Others saw her mother drinking and getting high twice a week
^Although Carissa denies that she was smoking cigarettes or marijuana,
or drinking alcohol during her pregnancy with Christa, her father, Glenn, reports that Carissa was drinking approximately once a week and getting high twice per month during her pregnancy.^
^Christa had ceased smoking marijuana and
drinking when she found out she was pregnant, which according to Glenn Pike, her own mother had not done when she was pregnant with Christa^
Christa was also prone to seizures, which happen when the electrics in the brain go haywire.
She also had untreated bipolar disorder.
She was also separated from her mother immediately after birth as she was seriously ill after birth and taken to a different hospital where her mother couldn't visit; the health issues seem to have been serious.
Newborns separated from and who spend little time with their mothers are at risk of developing attachment disorders, which lead to a multitude of behavioural and relationship problems if not treated.
On top of that trauma itself can change the way the brain functions and in children in the way it develops. I was told that literally certain areas of the brain don't develop as well or fully, if the trauma is severe enough, and those areas are often to do with controlling emotions and clear thinking.
