One way that childhood trauma hurts your ability to have a healthy relationship is by halting your emotional development.

It’s human nature to require justice. Somehow we NEED to know in our bones that the kind of harm that was done to us as children is NOT RIGHT, and should not have happened, and someone should have come to our aid.
