Many children exhibit psychosomatic complaints such as headaches, stomach problems, and other medical problems. Children can experience problems with depression, anxiety, embarrassment, and, if exposed to violence for an extended period of time, ambivalence. The impact of domestic violence and child abuse may and often does continue through adolescence and adulthood. Adolescents who have grown up in abusive and violent homes are at a greater risk for recreating the abusive relationships that they have witnessed at home. The cycle of violence hypothesis suggests that a childhood history of physical abuse predisposes the survivor to violence in later years.
Children learn what they live.
If they are abused, they often learn to abuse. I would like to tell you about people that abuse their children then as their children get older, they abuse children. Well, I'm one of those children. My father started abusing me when I was six years old. Then when I was thirteen I started to abuse other children.
