found a great quote (not by me!)
It helps me to remember that for most people with no personal experience with traumatized or mentally ill children, its just easier to believe the adults are the ones with the problem. Not that we are perfect or don't need to change/grow as well. But I think as a society we want to believe that all kids given love and stability will adapt and do great. It is horrifying to even face the fact of the trauma, abuse, neglect and suffering so many children around the world face. To face the reality of what that can do to a child and then try to find effective solutions is overwhelming.
