i have hyper tension and having seen the consultant today she told me of new research linking high level's of stress in babys can link to heart problems later on. also have had craniosacral massage and the lady said oh you had a serious head injury under the age of 2,
i was raised in care since the age of 5 and knew it was shit but to have some one else say it really hurt. feel really sad for me as a baby does that make sense?

Yes it does make total sense. It's understandable to feel sad or angry about abuse suffered as a child, but you also need to find a way to stop those feelings eating you up and interfering with the life you have now. Would counselling help - a space for you to talk through it all?

to be honest it only hit home yesterday to have someone else confirm
the abuse. just need to grieve the pain the baby suffered

That makes total sense, and its brave to express it honestly. Yes, you need to grieve, and maybe rage as well. Having a helpful person around might help, be that a counsellor, or a partner or good friend.

grumpy that is really sad and yes you do need to make time to feel sad for you as a baby. Hope you are OK.

Yes you sure need to grieve. You would feel sad for any baby this happened to, but this particular baby was you. It happened to you.

I was abused from 7-11 and still had to get to grips with this little girl going through all of that being me. Give yourself all the time you need to grieve and accept all the help you need.
