Hi
@Tapdancer, you make a very literate case for the status quo.
It is very hard to be positive when rejection is ingrained and you feel like a second class citizen.
I wonder if many people know that PTSD can be passed down through generations, yes it may sound like another crazy excuse, but it is real. SOURCE.

Hence the trauma that many still suffer as a result from the very real stolen generation.
Perhaps a little compassion rather than judgement could go a long way to healing.
But it must start somewhere.
