i wanted to reply to this thread last night... but i wasn't in a good place... kids act out ... that's the way they make sense of things they don't understand... if you look at a child at the age of 8-10 what do you see... the problem is that we don't see ourselves at the age we were... we try and project adult responsibility on the child we were... but are forgetting that we didn't have the same abilities and thought processes that we do now... i am struggling with words sorry... i don't know why you acted out... maybe it was just you trying to understand the differences between your body and your brothers... i don't see what happened as you being an abuser.
