And then those kids grow up, and the cycle continues across generations, because we do the best that we can, but we can only do what we know.

When my daughter was young, a counselor, after hearing of my abusive childhood, stated pointblank to me..."And you do the same to your daughter, don't you!" To which I replied, "NO, I've never once hit my daughter." He didn't believe me, but he apologized the next session. With education and awareness, one CAN break the cycle. My daughter and I have a great relationship to this day.
