If you've come from a hard background, not shown love or regard for other people..

is your behaviour in society really your fault or do you not know any different?

Yes. It is. If you come from an abusive background you understand better than most the pain it can cause and you can turn your back on all you know and start afresh with an opposite outlook.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman it's either that or blindly continue patterns

@SW-User Exactly. But its a conscious choice to follow or to rebel against what you know..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman You can, but it takes more than most of us can imagine to make that leap.

When a child is born into a family where there is neglect, abuse, and cruelty it's all they know. They don't learn how to cope.

@Ontheroad Sadly, thats true..😞

@Ontheroad yes to distance yourself from trauma to create that change is a huge task

@SW-User And when there is nowhere to go to distance oneself, no role model, no teacher he took an interest in you, not even to find it in a book... because you can barely read, then we have what we see day in and day out.

Young people who cope by striking out in anger, fear and hopelessness... these are their learned coping skills.
