The best thing you can do to heal yourself is to get into some type of counseling. Most communities have free mental health services. They will help you to work through the trauma and give you the tools to ensure you have a healthy future. There are many things that can happen to people that have been abused. They range from possibly being abusers, to being promiscuous, to substance abuse. I understand that you don’t want to become one and, i feel, the best thing you could do to prevent that would be to work with a counselor to overcome what happened to you.

The odds are higher. Now is the time to ask a professional your questions before starting a family.

Good question. I work at the jail. I see generational problems regularly.
Even though we don’t want to, we often model what we saw in our childhood.
Our relationships are colored by our childhood experiences.
I saw a therapist ( psychologist) for a few appointments just to make sure I wasn’t carrying damaging baggage.

It really depends on the person. Make a conscious decision that you do not want to become an abuser and subject others to the treatment that you were subjected to. Regular therapy and support groups could also help as well. Best of luck.

Unfortunately, the abused often, later in life, become abusers themselves.It is a widely recognized syndrome. In a court of law having been abused in the past does not justify abusing others.A defendant can use his/her history of having been abused as a mitigating factor when the court determines the sentence or punishment.
