“Talking to these parents was excruciating; it was as if their broken hearts were bleeding on to the table. Parents are chronically tormented by the knowledge that their children are terrified and need them, and that they are being kept from being able to respond to that need. Powerlessness is really at the heart of all trauma, and there is no way to torture a child and a parent more effectively than to take them from each other.”
