"Research suggests that just one caring, safe relationship early in life gives any child a much better shot at growing up healthy."

At least there's that.

I got a 5 as well :/ I'm seeing it as an interesting way to think of the future and trying to think of ways to do the things to help me become more resilient...

I'm so sorry for your experiences, it sucks so much for any child to have any of these. Resiliency is always a good goal. I would like to just not psychologically suffer so goddamned much. I wish the same for you. Enjoyment, relaxation, well-being thoughts as well as healthy bodies and minds, we all deserve that. Much love.
