  • There was this really great podcast (whose name escapes me now) about a therapist who deals with serial killers, and some come from rich background and some come from poor backgrounds, and some were beaten by their carers and some weren’t beaten at all. No particular trigger or remorse for why they did what they did, just a vague sense of curiosity

    One thing a lot of them did have in common though is neglect. You could have a kid who is completely pampered from the moment they’re born, but if they never receive any love or meaningful attention, any visible sign that their thoughts and feelings are valid, and that they’re not just a visitor in their own world, then that continual act of neglect is greater than any kind of physical abuse they might get.

    So, um, yeah… your post just, uh, yeah. Yep.
