Welcome to Mission 2.

The effects of neglect and abuse are myriad and complex. Each person is an individual and reacts in a different way. However, research indicates that there are broad areas of a person's life that are usually affected to some extent.

These can be broken these down into five areas:

* Emotions
* Behaviors
* Values
* Thoughts
* Relationships

The purpose of this "mission" is to explore those areas.
