    I also was referring to child abuse and other childhood trauma. It can take many forms but all of them leave deep emotional scarres that don’t necessarily heal.

    I think child abuse specifically tends to run along family lines. You grow up being abused and then abuse your children.

      abuse is a choice. you can choose not to abuse people if you were abused.

      true though, that most don’t and view their abuse as a justification for their abusing others.
