This, unfortunately, is exactly the sort of attitude I’m talking about. This comment reflects a profound ignornance of what we currently understand about how trauma works — that there are protective elements that may be in place even in terrible circumstances, that a developing nervous system does not care if society is functioning if the people responsible for a child are not, that there are circumstances that can occur anywhere that quite literally change the brain during key developmental stages — and cloaks it in a moral judgment. It is somewhat stunning to see someone make sweeping declarative statements about a field they know nothing about on this forum in particular. I would encourage you to read the relevant research.
