Most abusers, I understand, were themselves abused. However, only about 30% of children who grew up with abuse become abusers themselves. While patterns of abuse occur in families from one generation to the next, individuals can and do choose not to continue that pattern in their own families.

WW, I appreciate you and everyone else who has made the choice to stop the cycle.
