[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it could have happened. Remember that was an era where Shirley McLaine put her then two-year-old on an airplane alone to Japan. (Of course the flight attendants took care of her, but still.) Did it happen at exactly that age? Maybe, maybe not. Here’s what we know: whether she was 3, 4 or 5 at the time, your mom was alone on the bus, and it scared her enough to leave a lasting impression. And any feelings of stress and abandonment can stay with a child and, yes, cause PTSD. We all have baggage. Sometimes we know exactly where it comes from, sometimes not. [/quote] Except that we don't know that. OP assumes that it must have been traumatic, but it might have seemed perfectly normal and fine to her mother. It might have BEEN perfectly normal in that time and place. [/quote]
