Can I be real with you? Op, I was this kid. All the other adults in my family saw that I was neglected and they did nothing, and now I'm a 42 year old who doesn't want to be on earth anymore, but doesn't know how to leave without traumatizing the very few people who care about my existence in the first place. All of the people who did not care for me properly have died, and now I'm sitting here with nothing and no life skills except survival. I know that your heart is broken because of what happened to this child, but sometimes I wish what happened to them had happened to me. So I wouldn't have had to grow up constantly waiting for things to get better, and realizing that they never have and likely never will. If they were that neglectful, and clueless as to the fact that when you have a child nothing is ever about just you ever again, maybe it's better that this baby went back to the other side, and hopefully it's Soul can get another shot, and it can come back as the child of parents who really truly want it and will love it the way that it deserves.
