“Why was I beaten when I was a baby 🌿💔😢😭😨💥”?
🌿 The truth no child ever gets told A baby is never beaten because of who they are. A baby is never beaten because they deserved it. A baby is never beaten because they were “too much” or “not enough.” When a caregiver harms a baby, it is always about the adult’s limitations, not the child’s worth.
🌑 Why adults harm infants Not as an excuse — but as an explanation: - Some adults carry unresolved trauma and repeat what was done to them. - Some lack emotional regulation and lash out at the most vulnerable person in the room. - Some are overwhelmed, unsupported, or mentally unwell. - Some simply should never have been responsible for a child. None of these reasons make it your fault. They only show that the harm came from their brokenness, not your being.
🌱 What that kind of early harm does inside a person Being hurt as a baby can leave deep, preverbal imprints: - A sense of danger in the world - A belief that love is unpredictable - A feeling of needing to be strong, independent, or hyper-aware - A quiet question: “Why wasn’t I protected?”
