I've talked with my grandma about this issue. She was raised in a calm, loving environment. She turned out normal, and she's a healthy, wise, goodhearted person.
She likes to talk to people, and she has learned a lot about struggles people face from abuse to neglect.
We've both noted that it has a profound influence on individuals. Studies have shown changes in the brain after abuse and neglect. It becomes organic.
I was tormented by the school system and a few other things. Many parents of special needs children know this. Well, they do if they care for their children. One dad even went as far as putting a hidden camera on his son. It's unbelievable.
As a child, I was in constant stress and pain. After the military pulled the final straw, I went insane. It wasn't as big a deal as they made it out to be. One percent of the population is schizophrenic.
Anyway, I read an article about Bergdahl's release and his "strained" family life growing up. He's looking for approval in all the wrong places. I did the same thing with Putin. We're walking clichés. In fact, I bet that general he was after had Bergdahl's number after hearing about him. Another one? When you work with a lot of people, you see patterns of behavior. "Why" is known. No big mystery. No big deal. Nothing to hide. Something to work on. Waiting for the next one.
Cry and go to your safe place and rip the room to pieces. Curse instinct and get a job. Have kids. Then you'll have something to worry about.
I'm not saying that all people fall victim due to their pasts. It's more or less that people who have been abused and/or neglected show certain behaviors more often, and it's like clock work. Boring.
