It may be easier to convince ourselves that we either deserved the abuse or that some how the abuse we got was right for ourselves. This type of thinking may make us feel better that we got treated the way we did. You will find that whatever reasons you use to justify the abuse you got will also be carried out on others when they do the same things.
It is more painful to accept that what happened to us is wrong. It hurts to know that we were wronged and abused. We have to accept that if we want to break the cycle. If you do not want to abuse your kids, then it is necessary for you to accept that you were abused and accept that all abuse is wrong, even the abuse that happened to you.
If any one of you are struggling with this, I would like to pray for you.
