ALTERNATIVE OUTCOMES 1:
If a child grows up in an environment of criticism, the child will recoil and learn to criticize at random inside. And what is the most likely target?.... the child herself/himself.

If a child grows up in an environment of pessimistic criticism, the child will learn to suspect peoples' motives.
They will think they are out to score from him.
Bonds of mutual growth will not happen.
The child will be starved but be expected to survive.
No wonder such a child is difficult to adopt/not adopted.
