I drink, I smoke. I'm angry. I'm desperate.
The only line I have left to cross is abusive. I don't have children in the first place, to do that, but it's still always in the back of my mind. I guess my question is: Does anyone here suffer the same problem or fear? |

Hello So leigheas: I believe I've replied to a few of your posts.
 The Skeezyks doesn't drink or smoke. But I certainly am angry... to some extent with other people... but to a large extent with myself. (It's a very long story.)  I'm an older person. There are no children in my life. But I often feel the urge to strike out & it does concern me. So far I have always been able to manage it (except with regard to harming myself.) But there's always that thought, in the back of my mind, "what if..."

I'm assuming by "becoming them" you mean becoming like your parents, right? I think everyone who has been abused worries that they will become like their abusers. And yeah, it's scares us all. A lot of people do end up being like their parents but are in denial about it--like both my mother and father. But because they can't see the similarities, nothing gets any better. On the flip side, I have heard a lot of people say that they will never be the same, and they go so far in the opposite direction that they end up being abusers anyway, but in a different way. (i.e. someone neglected as a child becomes a controlling parent) --Ceara1010

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
