Rejection

For a child, rejection, whether explicitly expressed or implicity given by their parents, is still rejection. A child doesn't know the difference, they only know the feeling. They only know what it is in its most simple way, rejection.

They know once felt, the damage is done, the rejection by their parents. And the memory never goes away and the emotion scars never heal. The damage is permanent and life long. The rejection as a child stays in the adult for the rest of their life.
