A member asked:
How often can abuse victims become the abusers ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It happens: It is a common experience for a victim of abuse to become a perpetrator of abuse. Research shows that some children who are abused experience aggression and then model that aggression with the next generation. This does not happen with every victim of abuse but it does happen. Therapy can help break this cycle. Take care, .
