I grew up hearing "I love you but I don't like you very much". I was today years old when I understood how abusive this was.

In relation to over eating, I picked this up from UK adoption trauma therapist Paul Sunderland: "It is common for children in trauma to soothe themselves by over eating. Eating and chewing sends a message to the limbic brain that we can't be under attack, because we're having a meal. Which sends a message to the reptilian brain that we can put our weapons down, because we're eating."

I love how angry you both get on behalf of the victims. It's very soothing.
