I don’t like to admit this publicly but your story was so heart-wrenching it brought tears to my eyes. Tears for you Vincent V. Triola the child, made a victim so early in life.

I have seen mothers who do not love their children, and tend to prefer the child more similar to them… and they very often have not themselves received love as a child.

Excuse me, I am not trying to look for or give you an answer… just simply my thoughts after an emotional upheaval.

In one of my posts because I mentioned the importance of writing as a way of finding closure to childhood abuse, I recommended reading a post from another Medium writer, Zachary Phillips:

The Hardest Truth Of Childhood Trauma

I think the subtitle says it all.
