Steve I have wanted to ask you this and it is a serious question. In one of your posts you stated something like in a strange twist of fate it is us without high aces scores that can make the difference in the area of awareness of aces...

 

I hadn't responded but had wanted to--I think you are right and you are wrong.  In other words there are two sides to this coin.  And there is the middle for those with a moderate numbers of ACES.  

 

I think when my thinking brain goes off line as is often the case when I am highly emotionally disturbed by someone rejecting or not seeming to understand how critically important it is that we stop adversity for people and especially vulnerable children it is helpful to have someone with a lower aces score to keep me thinking rationally in effect to be my left brain and help me focus on the goal and the outcome I so desperately must attain but at the same time

 

It is those with high aces with a passion and a compulsion to stop this nonsense for children -- I did not have to go through some transformational event such as an adoption that fell through to get me on the ball working towards trying to educate others.  It only took childhood for me to know -- this is no joke and it is a blight for all mankind.  It brings a river of tears to God's eyes regularly I believe.  

 

But I was also wondering what it felt like not to understand or know of ACES. For me that is just something I have no awareness of so I have no ability to see what not knowing about them would, could look like.  I think that is a problem... just wondering 

 

Thanks Tina
