Why is it in general kids abused by their abusive parents become abusive themselves later in future.

Generally people abused or bullied also tend to become abusive or bullies later in life.

It isn't really true, even in general, but it happens often enough to have people convinced that this is a fact. Kids who are abused tend to decide early in life if their abuse is normal or if it is indeed abuse. The kids who decide it is indeed abuse don't go on to abuse others, but the kids who decide it is normal, might.

I was abused beyond anything an "unabused" person could ever tolerate to even hear about. I was told by my therapist( as a child) that I would grow up to abuse my own children; these therapists were wrong, and it gave me extreme pleasure to prove this to them.

I raised 2 generations of my children (my own and my grandchildren), I was a foster mother for 10 years, and I ran a daycare that specialized in high needs infants and children. I have never abused another person or animal in my entire life. So when I tell you this is the wrong assumption, I am telling you the truth.

@Journaling4MeLovesHobbies i do believe ppl learn to abuse because they get brainwashed by the abusers and enablers at their home that it's normal or out of feeling isolated ( like kids who were isolated and bullied by other kids or society) or never learning to handle negative emotions.

@Journaling4MeLovesHobbies Thank you. I was and am the same as you. I have spent my life being the opposite from my abusive father...never abused anyone...

@sahi81 denial of what?? I raised two kids who are now in their 40s, hug them and love them often, never abused them or came close...never abused my wife of 42 years 9she passed away three years ago)--you are trying to generalize about things without facts...do not lump everyone together in your streaotype
