As many others did upon learning of Trumps' running mate J.D. Vance, I began reading his book Hillbilly Elegy. I will watch the movie after I finish the book.
After reading Chapter 14 I had to stop and profess my surprised new education regarding ACE's. (I doubt this is in the movie)
ACEs are traumatic childhood events, and their consequences reach far into adulthood. The trauma need not be physical. The following events or feelings are some of the most common ACEs:
Being sworn at, insulted, or humiliated by parents
Being pushed, grabbed, or having something thrown at you
Feeling that your family didn’t support each other
Having parents who were separated or divorced
Living with an alcoholic or a drug user
Living with someone who was depressed or attempted suicide
