A member asked:
Can you please describe the long-term health consequences of being abused as a child/young teen?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Variable: Growing up under difficult circumstances can make you appreciate the simple things in life -- friendship, real love, safety -- more than your spoiled peers. You may also have ptsd / intrusive memories / difficulty trusting, you very likely learned some survival ways of thinking / behaving that now serve you poorly. Or you may be resilient and have little to show for it.
