 | Child abuse starts a new generational cycle of abuse. The
abused child is intensively trained by experts - to become an abusive
adult and/or an adult that accepts abuse. Abuse seems "normal." |
| Child abuse feels to the child as though the objective is to break the
child's will. |
| Abused children manifest a myriad of disorders in adulthood:
post-traumatic stress disorder, panic and anxiety disorders, mood
disorders, substance abuse problems. |
| Child abuse is confusing. The very people you love hurt you. They
rationalize and deny the pain they cause. They hurt you because they
"love" you. |
| Abused kids are taught to deny their inner reality. |
| Even if your children are not
being abused, it hurts them to watch you be abused. These kids may
grow up to abuse you too! |
