You know those questions were people ask something like, if you die what statistics do you want to know? Some answers are always, how many times someone was in love with me or if I ever did anything that changed someone's life. I also want to know stuff like, how many of the abused really become abusers. I'm not disputing that it def happens, of course. I just know there is so much abuse that is not reported. If we truly knew how many were abused, I wonder what percentage would become the abuser.
A lot of people just carry on, as others have said, and use it as motivation to make their life better. I just realized this is probably OT and i'm sorry. I have just wondered about it so much since I became active on WS and i was thinking about it a lot today since DB's letter used that excuse. MOO
Absolutely, there are so many who move forward in positive ways after their abuse. I wonder what percentage become abusers themselves, so much is unreported, etc. like you said.
