How much of an impact does physical child abuse have on a male later on in his life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It Varies: Child abuse definitely puts a person at risk for emtional difficulties in adult life. There is also an increased risk of problems in relationships, drug and alcohol problems, and the possibility of engaging in abusive behavior as an adult. However, there are no guarantees. Some children face significant abuse but do well as adults. Some of this can be affected by proper treatment.
