As to support, it is the most vital key in the process of overcoming childhood abuse. On the “Coping as Adults” page there is a paragraph which horribly troubles me. Particularly the first paragraph. The writer states the following, as to possible emotions of the abused.
“Anger and sadness- When I remember the things that happened, I often wonder how or why someone would do such a thing. I sometimes wonder if I have the tendencies to become an abuser. This is very disconcerting. Studies indicate that many people who have through some type of abuse often become abusers themselves. This leads to perhaps the core of why people are abused. The victim is treated like an object. Victims often end up viewing others as objects and unfortunately many become abusers themselves.”
This is precisely the reason it is so vitally important to rise up and be SURVIVORS! It is a personal choice that is made by each and every person to in fact, STOP THE VICIOUS CYCLE! Speaking for myself, at no point in my life, did I ever think that I, myself, would perpetrate abuses which I was forced to endure onto any human being, much less a helpless child. I was the exact opposite. I always knew that I would never be capable of any kind of abuse. It still to this day puzzles me, as to the people who were themselves victims use their personal “rationale” as to why they also have became the aggressors. Who have chosen and continue to make the conscious decision to be a despicable child abuse perpetrator Justifying their actions. Using their own pity. Well in my book that is nothing but a hypocritical, child abuser, continuing to cowardly pass along the abuse onto another poor helpless child and a new generation. Child abusers are the most despicable people to ever live on this earth.
I recently had a friend, who works in a similar field. And somewhat involved in such issues tell me, “I know that most abuse victims never are able to get out of the victim mindset, and you have. You have reached out and decided that you will not sit back and let others be hurt, you will reach out and help them gain the courage they need to overcome.”
I hope to join with many others and really bring to light, that child abuse is absolutely unacceptable. It truly is a personal choice. Others can be just like me and speak up and make a difference in the lives of many children and also those, “Coping as Adults.” I am hopeful that many will become more aware and do any and every thing in their own power to STOP THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF CHILD ABUSE!!
