Why is it that people who were abused as children often become abusive parents?
I am writing an essay on child abuse for my criminology class, and I know that its typical for child abusers to have suffered from child abuse themselves. I just can’t find any reasons why that is.
to "no real help": Thanks for the opinion, but this essay isn’t so much based on opinions, but more on the facts. I obviously have my own opinions on why things are the way they are, but that doesn’t make them right. There are neurological reasons why adults who were abused as children become abusers towards there own children.
My opinion, they aren’t smart enough to figure out that they don’t have to do what was done to them; or they figure since their childhood was "Hell," they’re going to be vindictive and take it out on their kids and make their lives "Hell."
Usually, it’s because it’s what they learned as kids, that this is how you raise a child; by treating them this way or that…again, they aren’t smart enough to figure out that they don’t have to do what was done to them.
It’s like so many other things…people just aren’t smart enough to think for themselves. [ahem]
My "opinion," although it is editorialized, is based on what I grew up with and how it was explained in therapy.
