Reflection Paragraph on Findings

When I first began the research process, I thought that I would be able to find tons of articles and sources on sexual child abuse and insanity being linked together. However, as the process went on, I realized it was much harder than I had originally thought. The most important facts that I learned were that all the types of abuse-physical, sexual, emotional, and neglect- were linked together with their consequences. What I found most surprising was that although physical abuse left marks on the outside, emotional abuse turned out to be much more scarring in almost all cases. I would still like to know whether or not insanity is a specific consequence of child abuse of any kind, not just sexual. As for how I feel about my topic now, I feel that I would have more answers to my questions if I would have gone with emotional abuse instead of sexual abuse.
