This discussion hs been on here many times. I have asked the question and never received an answer. Please name one killer who came from a loving family. No, not Bundy or Dahmer.
You cannot raise a child in a toxic environment and expesct the child to come out without issues.
It is true that most abused children don't become killers, but I bet they all have issues, be it of depressiom, drug use ( that includes alcohol) , eating disorders, failed relaitionships, difficulties with jobs, prison for other issues, and so on. There is a price the child pays .
I have not seen a parent who does not feel that they provided support for a child to succeed whether that is beining them to lessons, providing opportunities, reading to them, etc.
bbm, of course not. Depression is common, and some struggle with ptsd. But I think many would be surprised how many otherwise healthy, functioning people have a history of being abused. There's an undeserved stigma, iow. In my opinion.
More than half of sociopathy is heritable, according to some research. (Ferguson, C. (2010).Genetic Contributions to Antisocial Personality and Behavior. Journal of Social Psychology).

It's more complex than, "Well, he was abused." And imo (this is only my opinion), that generalization increases the unfair, unjust stigma against abuse survivors and gives us an easy way to ignore what other issues might have contributed -- especially if those issues require us to take a good long look at things that make us uncomfortable.
