[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Access to MRI brain scans that show the long-term impact that those less-than-perfect but well-meaning parents have on people. Whenever I start to question was it (abuse/neglect) really that bad—I look at the scan, and that’s enough to quiet the doubt.  Brain imaging and data do not lie. [/quote]
Your parents claim to be "less than perfect but well meaning" but they actually abused and neglected you to the point where you needed a brain scan and that scan revealed this abuse/neglect? [/quote]

Yes.  Consider yourself among a subset of very fortunate humans if you cannot relate.

There is no responsible physician who would look at brain damage on your scan and attribute it to whatever “abuse” you suffered.  There are too many factors and too much that is unknown about the brain.  But one thing that has been proven to cause brain shrinkage is loneliness.[/quote]
