Children that grow up in these environments usually experience some sort of disruptive attachment to their primary caregiver or parent, they are not in a stable environment, and they are usually exposed to multiple caregivers throughout their life.

These four components may not be recognized all at one time, but it is not until all four of these factors are realized that the…
