Was so glad to see your post. I can be identify with the traumatic childhood. The earliest I can remember rolling things of all kinds between my fingers is 5 years old. Before that I had been given away at birth, abused by alcoholic mother ( of sorts),given to her parents who then gave me up for adoption. After age 5 was adopted by a woman whose family ran a foster home. She worked outside the home so was rarely there. My so called grandmother cursed me all day, and my so called grandfather sexually abused me( from 5 years till 12 years, when I got big enough and old enough that I told him I'd kill him if he ever touched me again ). So yeah I know all about trauma.I still roll things to this day. My husband says he can tell when I am really stressed because I roll whatever is in my hands faster. Two of my children have the same habit. My ex and I divorced when they were small.
IIN to love to rub fabrics between my fingers?
