pot, lsd, other drugs, hair dyes, valium, birth control pills, other hormones, artificial sweeteners, and foods became ever more loaded with chemical “preservatives”
trace elements of some chemicals and other byproducts build up in the fatty and other tissues of your body - I believe this can affect the reproductive process an other processes (ergo, so many many women getting breast cancer these days)
When you conceive a baby, the human brain is a tough but sensitive organ- a tiny chemical interaction on even a one-2 day window of fetal development, can have a devastating effect. Women stop drinking smoking and using hair dye when they know they're pregnant- sometimes 2-3 weeks or more after conceiving. Others may just have little chemical byproduct time bombs in their body tissues, that affect the baby.
My child (adopted) has a brain pickled and pitted (my description) due to his birth mother's drinking, it manifests as severe hyperactivity and deficits in self-regulatory behavior - an inability to willfully control himself.
No you cannot beat or otherwise punish or even sometimes "discipline" someone with brain chemistry disorder into submission, only into hatred of you and themselves. If they are lucky they might develop emotional health and patterned behaviors that help their own brain to normalize. If not, ADHD meds are wonder drugs.
This poor little 7 yr old had inability to control his rage-if he was abandoned and raped - no wonder. Lexapro and Vyvanse couldn't take away all that hurt and anger and inattention and mistrust of casual people trying to control him. All those bio relatives and he was in foster care...
Why that child was not in intensive psychotherapy.... question to be answered.
Foster children have a notoriously bad success rate.
I think only something like 14% manage to graduate from high school. Many suffer from mental illness, and severe learning deficits, due to neglect, drug related pregnancy complications, or physical abuse. My wife grew up in foster care and she does a lot of work with foster care. Even the ones that survive, have many problems to work through.
This boy didn’t really get much of a chance at life. He probably experience as much trauma in seven years as most people experience in a lifetime.
Thank you for the reply.
If what you say about smoking, hair dye, etc is true regarding the effects on the new born, how do you explain the fact all this was done by mothers to be since forever yet the problems seemingly began with the children born in the late 1960’s?
