I don't think Ezzo/Babywise was around when I was born, but if he had my parents would have been his #1 fan. I always thought I'd follow along in their footsteps until I had a baby of my own, and CIO just seemed wrong.

I am curious if there are any other women here who were raised similarly? I have struggled with abandonment a lot, which is odd because I came from a very stable homelife and haven't really had anyone of significance abandon me. (I was in counseling for a little while and even then my counselor couldn't figure why I was struggling so much.) Once I had a baby and started looking into parenting methods, I began to wonder if my parents letting me CIO had something to do with it... My mom says she used to leave the house so she wouldn't hear me crying.

Anyone else struggle with this? Or seen other lasting effects?
