WHAT DO CHILDREN
VICTIMS SAY.
When we see our parents as
unloving and neglectful, we dont
see them as such, but we see
ourselves as UNLOVABLE
WHATS WRONG WITH
GROWN UPS?
Grown-ups make promises, then they forget
all about them or else they say, it wasnt
really promises, just a maybe.
Grown-ups dont do the things theyre
always telling the children to do
Grown-ups never really listen to what
children have to say
