Doesn't really make sense to abuse someone out of anxiousness, so I'm guessing that's simply a lie to avoid responsibility for being an abuser.

No I agree abuse is abuse. This abuser is in my family. He is my cousin. He owned what he did but he said it was a urge he fought an anxious urge. Not wanting to do it (anxious) but felt compelled despite his anxiousness. He said he felt that way as a child and it never went away. He went to jail and his kids were taken away but he is out now making more kids. Anyway, he doesn't have a history of trauma so I dont understand where this anxious urge from childhood comes from.
