A child who grows up unable to trust their biological parents,or people that raise the child as a parent, the very people meant to provide love and protection, faces deep emotional wounds. This early breach of trust teaches the child a worldview rooted in distrust and fear, making it difficult to feel safe or secure in their environment. The betrayal they experience creates a lasting imprint on their heart, always alert to danger or rejection, even when none is present. They learn to expect disappointment, making emotional safety a rare and longed-for experience.
This child often embarks on a lifelong search for someone they can trust, someone who will provide the safety and peace they were denied. Peace, for such a child, becomes the ultimate treasure—the feeling of finally being able to rest in a secure space without the fear of being hurt. It’s the calm after a storm they’ve navigated for so long.
However, in this quest for safety, the child’s vulnerability becomes visible to others. There are those who have an innate ability to sense such fragility people with “antennas” for those who are emotionally wounded. Unfortunately, not all who recognize this vulnerability come with good intentions. Some exploit this delicate state, manipulating the child’s longing for trust and security for their own advantage.This cycle highlights the importance of healing. The child must learn, often through inner work and self-discovery, to trust their own inner voice and intuition. Only by building self-trust and emotional resilience can the child break free from the patterns of being exploited or betrayed. The journey towards peace then shifts from seeking external sources to finding inner strength and safety within themselves, allowing them to stand strong in their own truth without fear of being taken advantage of.🦄🤞
