I want to let you know that most people who are abused don't go on to abuse, regardless of the thoughts and knowing that you have them makes it more likely that you won't go on to abuse others if you get the help you need.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
