It is human nature to want stability, but what happens when those needs are not met in childhood?
Our experiences as children are monumentally important regarding our outcomes in later life. Early-life is an especially formative time due to the brain’s rapid development. Many factors can adversely affect brain development, including poverty, abuse, trauma, malnutrition, neglect, and more. These conditions are risk factors not only for stunted brain development, but also for negative mental health outcomes in adulthood...
Another key factor to consider is fragmentation or unpredictability. This has been shown to have adverse outcomes, even when there is no known trauma. The new study sought to understand how negative effects of early-life instability may contribute to symptoms of people at psychiatric risk.
Additionally, for people with childhood trauma, early-life instability was related to worsened PTSD symptoms, as well as greater symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anhedonia.

I was just thinking that! Yes. Way to mess up a kids mind. What is wrong with those parents?!

Yep. LGBTQ+ comes from trauma.
Horribly ironic that PC thinking has eliminated those refuges in favor of...foster families. All those psychological maladies can be overcome but never totally eradicated. Keeps me mindful to stay positive and count the blessings.
