born and raised from a family deprived of affection will raise a child that will crave it to someone else.

a child neglected of their rights to parental affection will become someone who will be envious of other children who's mother showed them affection and who's father showed them softness. and in that envy will blossom the anger. the questions. the why's.

why didn't i experience a love as tender as a mother's words?
why didn't i experience understanding from a present father?

and when you present and show them affection, they will freeze and stutter.
what should they say? what should they do? how should they react?

when all their life they've been deprived of a loving home and affection, they will never know what to do and their body will automatically turn down any sign of affection because they don't know how to handle it.
