    There is an overwhelming lack of awareness and academic literature on children who abuse adults (not just parents). I tried to research the issue after years of putting up with one of my nieces being very abusive toward me (mostly psychological and verbal abuse, but occasionally physical abuse too). She learned this behaviour from my "father", who continues to encourage it. He himself is abusive toward me and other family members. Their tag-team of abuse affects my mental health, but I can't do anything about it since she's "not my kid", and since I have to live at home for the time being, due to financial circumstances, I just have to take it.
    Thank you for at least putting this video out there to help raise awareness on an issue that sorely needs it.

      chapachuu currently experiencing this for the first time as a nanny/ babysitter. It’s insane, and I don’t know what else to do but to quit. It’s too much, I’ve tried reading articles and being patient. I try being as thoughtful and caring as I can. In the end “I’m just a nanny”. I’ve experienced verbal and physical abuse since I started the job. I tried being understanding. I’m just shocked! Out of the two that I take care of it’s only the older one I can’t seem to get it right with.

      I've been consistently abused by my daughter. She used to run to her father with such outlandish lies, but he'd believe her and reprimanded me. She told her Pre-K teacher stories and thank goodness the teacher knew her enough to question her and her story didn't match, but our daughter loved the attention. She continued telling lies to teachers and peers about us. Sometimes she said we were FBI agents who'd come in and taze everyone. Sometimes it was way worse. I asked my husband to back off so we could both observe what was happening. She started targeting both of us. Trying to play us against each other. When that didn't work she poisoned us and started hurting my cat. We caught on quickly and I filed a police complaint. I took her down to the precinct with photos, but the chief didn't want to arrest a sped kid. We made her pay for the damages, but she didn't care. She turned off her empathy and continued gaslighting me and passively aggressively sabotaging anything good.
      She was already diagnosed with ODD, autism, ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD.
      I figured it was all of this working against her and us so we found the perfect therapy, but she started to control them and not actually fix herself. I pulled her out after she got as good as she could get and I put her into dbt. By this time her ODD turned into borderline personality disorder.
      We had no idea what to do with her.
      Putting her into a group home would mean we pay for it and if she wanted to leave she could check herself out, because she was 18.
      Putting her into college meant we pay until she drops out and then we stop paying.
      Having her arrested for various crimes, would mean community service and mandatory work to pay back the petty crimes.
      There were no good options that would lead to permanent removal without her bouncing back here.
      We sent her off to college as a commuter. I drove her back and forth until she decided to leave home on her own and live on campus.
      She bunked with a friend until she left campus and possibly moved in with some guys. This is where it ends. No idea what's next. She's used all her friends and she lost every good friend group she's ever had. She wants to hang with people who condone, which leads to enabling her decisions until they get sick of her and tell her to leave. She thinks couch surfing is better than living at home with rules.
      She will become homeless and cry, whoa is me, like every other homeless teen who got "kicked out". We didn't kick her out and we can only have her back when she straightens out.
      There are no support groups that help parents with abusive kids. We suffer silently.

      ​@@amangoman3848 if she leaves physical marks by hitting or punching. If there is bruising or open cuts, bring photos with you to the police. They may or may not care, but it's a start. Sometimes, dcf can be contacted. Be warned, your sister can turn around and say the problem is you, and that's why physical evidence is important.
      We had the abuse documented with our daughters therapists when she was younger so there is a history of her hurting herself and others.

      it’s a child, how can a child be abusive? especially the child in the video who was 11. abuse much like r*pe is based on power. a child does not have power over a parent, especially one who is not even a teenager.
      also, people aren’t just born inherently abusive. usually abusers were themselves abused as children. it doesn’t excuse their actions, as many people are able to break the cycle of their trauma. but even if it were a matter of nature, those are your genes you passed on. it’s unbelievable, it seems like these people don’t know how to parent & would rather just shanghai their kid off to some “program” where they will be mistreated even more & likely come to resent their parents even more. it’s really messed up, they hire multiple men who are like 6’5” to break into the child’s home in the middle of the night, restrain them & carry them off against their will. it’s got to be traumatizing.
      children aren’t mature enough to be held accountable for things like this. whose responsibility is it if not the parents? & if it lasted 30 years, 12 of those years they were not a child but an adult.

      outstanding parents have been shocked and stunned at the behavior of their children - additionally, if your child has asthma, you have no say over the protocol - States put millions of kids on allergy drugs like singulair which caused abusive violent and suicidal behaviors... Putting children on antidepressants causes the same -60 minutes did a show on singulair and a wealthy family whose kid got out of control and committed suicide - but the rest of the world got nothing and that story disappeared quick.

      that’s false. abuse is most often a vicious cycle, as children who are abused come to normalize the behavior.
      often, a child is abused when they are small & easily manhandled. then the child grows up, & usually if it’s a boy he will become bigger than his mom at some point. so now, it’s harder for the parent to beat the kid & the child is big enough to fight back. then they play the victim, saying an 11 year old is abusing them. pathetic.

      @Amanda Rose make sure you learn self-care and self- love. Seeing a really good therapist who understands Personality Disorders, Trauma, CPTSD, Addiction, and Co- Dependency is the best thing I've ever done for myself. Please dont think what I've been through can't happen to you. I was a loving kind mother who adored my children. I would walk on water for them. I taught them love and kindness. Gratitude and how to pay it forward. They didn't play violent video games and grew up watching veggie tales. Morals were instilled in them. My exspouse is a manipulative abusive con artist. I have been strangled, bitten, stiched, taken to the hospital, thrown across the room & had my head slammed against the wall. Barricaded in my home & held hostage, attacked by jumping me and had butchers knives held in my abdomen. Verbally abused and berated daily. Told I was going to be murdered and should die. For the 1st time in 25years I feel in my soul and I truly know this is not my fault. It is not ok and I never deserved to be treated this way. I do not
      feel guilty and I do not need to know why any longer. It doesnt matter why.... I am free from my own thoughts of being responsible for the hell I've been living in. Please save yourself. It doesnt get better. I am working with a great therapist. The reality is heartbreaking but you can get to the point of accepting what you can't change and also thrive. I see my son differently, he is a manipulator. He wants control over me. He treats me as if I am a moron. He is relentlessly, berates me on hour-long tangents outside of my bedroom door. I bought ear buds to block the toxicity out. I am sick & awaiting surgery to remove cancer. This doesn't stop him. He could care less. It use to hurt me to the point of me feeling as if i was dieing inside. I could not except him not caring how devastated I was. I felt as if I was pleading with him to acknowledge my feelings, I wanted him to know that I cared, I wanted him to know I loved him, I wanted him to be happy, I felt sad and hurt, I felt pain and I wanted so desperately to understand him so I could fix his pain. I was a door mat. I felt broken. I was in despair. Exactly what they want & it's Very hard for a parent to except, forget about understand. This is the heartbreaking reality. You can not cry or show weakness in front of your son. My son will be sweet when he wants something from me. It makes me nauseas now. I don't see him the same way anymore. It's very sad but I am accepting reality. This is a child whos father i divorced after 17 years of lies and manipulation. My life was like the movie Wall Street. The only difference is I remained teaching my kids to be positive and thankful. To be kind and give to less fortunate. They all sponsored a child from other countries. My exspouse was on a mission to destroy me after divorce Still is 10 years later we are back in court because of fraud. Please take care of yourself. This will eat you alive. You will become sick. Your body can only handle so much. Make sure you have people you can talk to that are not toxic. Do not isolate, which happens to so many of us. You did the best you could as a Mother. You must be strong and set boundaries. You do not deserve to be treated this way. These children will consume your life. You must make sure you have a separate life from the drama. DO NOT ALLOW HIS BEHAVIOR TO CONSUME YOUR LIFE. The 2 things you do control is how you react to his behavior and what you absolutely will NOT tolerate. Set Boundaries. You must show him he is not running your home. This behavior is unacceptable in the real world. His consequences are "not" your fault.
      Don't wait until chaos strikes or something traumatic happens to set boundaries He needs to see you have self respect. If he's not in counseling he should be. You are the boss. Do it now before he is old enough to say no. My son was already to old when I started to stop feeling so bad for him and started to think about me.
      I never deserved to be abused. I deserve to be respected. I pray for your strength to stand your ground and for your self awareness to really feel in your soul that you are not responsible for your sons behavior. You owe it to yourself to be kind and caring to YOU. Setting an example.Take control of the 2 things you can control. Make sure to Choose yourself first. That's how we teach people to treat us. Too often words have no meaning and become confusing when we don't act on our words. You deserve to live in a PEACEFUL home!! Sending you positive thoughts. You are worthy!!!

He just gave me a pissy look and walked off, so I grabbed his back pack and stopped him and told him again I need to talk to him then he raised his skateboard as to strike me and that’s when I lost my mind. I have a very strong reaction to threats of physical violence. One thing led to another I had him pinned down and yelled at him “all I wanted to tell you was we are looking for cars for you on Sunday”. It’s just been getting worse over the years.

      abuse is a vicious cycle. most abusers were themselves abused at some point. it doesn’t excuse their actions, but the idea that not abusing your child will make *the child* abusive is such a crock of shit.
      most often, parents who beat their kids will use the excuse “I was hit as a child & I turned out ok”.

    My sister knows i’m pregnant and has hit me and pulled my hair, her social worker is completely enabling her and saying it’s because of her autism. People with autism are not violent or aggressive by nature. There’s an argument in the household everyday because she’s always looking for an argument, she damages property and verbally abuses my mum and me, when we try to tell her social worker she denies it even though there’s evidence and the social worker believes her. She knows when my mum and I gets paid and on the days we get paid she demands for things and when told no she persists. The amount of things we’ve bought for her and she’s purposely damaged because it’s not good enough is astronomical at this point, she even demands we buy her something better and more expensive. I’m not someone who shows my emotions but i’m full of sadness and anger because of her and because of my hormones i’ve lashed out when she’s yelling at me, i’ve never hit her, just shouted at her, which she goes and tells her social worker and I get reprimanded for it. I’m personally reaching breaking point even though i’m the families strong one. None of my family, exs or friends want anything to do with her, after witnessing her aggression towards us. She’s 15.

    No, no, we have been trying for YEARS and NO ONE WILL LISTEN! Our son is now 15 almost 16, and starting in drugs, alcohol and we just got him back from running away for 4 days missing. Had a missing childs report out state wide and everything. Seized his phone, had everything on there about how he was selling drugs, in a gang, threating to murder people etc. All the police said was it was all talk because when they were called to pick him up he had nothing in his possession. He verbally abuses all of us in the home constantly. He has yet to get physically abusive, that is because of my husband by me and our 8 year old daughter. We were told there is nothing we can do but deal w it. He just accused us of being into child pornagraphy the other day, because we placed a camera at the door in his bedroom to be sure he doesn't try to sneak out anymore. We desperately need help, but no one will help us. I just hope one day he doesn't murder all of us. I wish I being dramatic here, but I no longer feel safe in my home.

      @SunshineSupportUK Thank you. Since posting this. He assaulted me, ran away again, missing 7 days this time. The State and CPS has now been involved. It is so heart breaking it has come to this to have someone help us. Now our only option is to sign our rights to the state, and pay child support to the state until he is aged out of the system, because we can not provide a safe and stable home due to him refusing to stay at home. It's not right, but if it will keep our son safe we are willing to do and pay whatever necessary. Our only hope is he grows out of this.

    I got to vent.
    Not to discount the hurt of anyone else but it's not always physical abuse from your growing child to adolescent to teen to young adult. The older they get the worse it's gotten with... my friends situation. After being ignored off and on for so many years-just over and over and over - never knowing what her oldest kids mood today might be for that day, always on pins and needles, afraid to speak, so as not to offend or give her yet another reason to pull another multi-month cold shoulder treatment, she's stuck and idk if there is any hope.
    My friend grew up getting beat - but she stopped that cycle and she used to take pride in that, i think well deserved pride. She isn't proud of anything anymore. It's been about 25 years now, she's never been violent with her kids, spanked the 25 year old, emmmm less than 5 times in her whole life and I really never saw cause for punishment with the younger ones. But that changed. Too late. Seems like overnight everything just changed. Probably not that quick I'm outside looking in and there had to be signs.
    My friend has been a great mom, I wish my own mom was as fun and cool, she was for sure better than her own mother- HANDS DOWN! I won't even go there. Hell no her maniacal maniac still scares the bejesus Out of me.
    There is such a thing as parental abuse. I've studied a little about this, experts agree the most hurtful and damaging form of abuse is that good old cold shoulder treatment. I believe it wholeheartedly. I've seen my friend go so far downhill I almost feel like just a matter of time, I pray for her always. It's upsetting to know how many sacrifices she made for her- precious lil babies- always so proud of them- always the doting mom. Now the older one will go MONTHS AND MONTHS without answering a call, text anything, she'll be so worriesd about their safety like most parents. But they just ignore her, she's a lot of fun but they rarely include her in anything. She works 2 jobs and the rest of her time she sits in her apt just WAITING WAITING WAITING...I'm like they're not coming to suprise visit you and they probably never will.
    I don't tell her they're spoiled rotten jerks who are completely self absorbed, selfish and greedy little brats.
    Yea (comment turned novel.. again ) oh my gosh On Mother's day, I was thrilled she was finally getting a chance to see them(always at their dad's since her apartment is "embarrassing" to the kid kids, wth it is not bad she has it fixed up nicely. My impeccable timing, when I got there they were talking like... shit to their mother . They were irritated because SHE didn't get GIFTS FOR THEM ON MOTHER'S DAY.
    YES you read that right. The older young adult jess the audacity to tell her if it "weren't FOR US then you wouldn't even be a mother, since you can't appreciate us more then, idgaf about Jace & Cayse, yall can decide there-but I don't want to talk to you anymore. DADDY I'M leaving, I can't stand being around her, call me when she's GONE DADDY I'll be at Corey's, BYYYYYE" FLIPPED her mom off and she drove away. Whaaaatt the phauk?!
    OMG I wanted to chase that shhithead down, pull her out of that car (courtesy her parents, she doesn't even pay for her own fuel) I wanted to choke her royal ass and ask her WHAT IN TF DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING you superficial, glib, thoughtless, spoiled BITCH, WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!"
    Oh AND the card mom ("Jane") got was so touching. Recycled card mom got for one of the kids last mother's day, complete with her sweet nothing and name written in the card.
    True story.
    But i can't lie, I was impressed that one of her kids actually kept a card she got for one of them for 2018 MOTHER'S DAY. But othr than that, I want to say-
    "Hey kiddos-
    THANKS FOR MAKING my best friend a mom, but I sometimes wish you wouldn't have you
    Mean & nasty little people."
    Maybe I'm being hard on them but I don't think so. Dad is a bump on a pickle good man but he should disciple his kids.
    It'll hurt more than help them down the road.

She has every right just like every parent and sibling involved it problem Childs life to have something that they are not included in WTF! I'm also real tired of hearing this new mantra going around by entitled adults too. A ISN"T SUPPOSED TO BE GRATEFUL!! WHT is that what are we supposed to raise a bunch of self absorbed entitled brats and believe through our actions of gratitude that they magically at 18 yrs old wake up grateful for everything they have?? That's purely insane. A Child never magically gets up at 18yr old and know how to do everything you taught them, you have to enforce that or else they don't get it.

      Narcissism is a maladaptive personality temperament. Meaning it destroys others and themselves. It does not benefit. They Inherit it or it's a CPTSD response from child neglect, overt abuse, coddling, or religiosity. Children need to self sooth. The babies that can't stop crying that's them. It's not even a disorder the system is building them. We have a system built on an attention economy and a gr33d for resources. Narcissism is a parasitic desire for resources and attention, its about constant supply, not about mommy or even the tit it's about mommy's milk the attention f33dback loop/fix; nothing else. That process was disturbed. So they cant be individuals and destroy to feel whole. They have psychotic breaks as babies and their hearts collapse Into black holes. Since they never get satiated they become nothjng. Its a black hole without empathy.A narcissit needs to devalu3 ppl around them to be an Individual. They have to drain to become whole. Check out richard grannon and the dual mothership model. We are birthing and building more narcissts because of the neglect lack or resources broken families et. That's why the revolution isn't happening. It's the grandiose trumps of the world and your poor children. Whoever are the maglo narcs with no empathy. I'm so sorry. Sometimes it is not the parents fault. Notice how stealing money and attention to material things a part of the system. The system the matrix is breeding monster ppl. My mom was a narcissist, and I became an empath cause she beat me to serve her you guys are having the opposite experience. I'm so so sorry. That's why I'm on a procreation strike like the 4b movement in korea I'm not taking the chance. Ther3s a high likelihood if I have a kid in this climate they'll probably be psychopaths. Stay strong and leave if you must. I'm so sorry

      Nicolq Roberts. Great response and advice.
      It is a very sad and taboo subject. Children who abuse their parents physically or psychologically/emotionally or both. It's a terrible thing for where do you turn to especially when surrounded by polarising thinkers.
      This is more common than realised. The programming is that it is only parents who abuse. Each person has to take responsibility for behaviour/words towards others no matter what their age and status is. There is programming and disturbing practises that perpetuate polarising of children against seniors for specific outcomes (a whole other topic).
      Nicolq Roberts you give (in my opinion) very good advice and elucidation on how a parent can end up getting abused and become helpless. It is absolutely urgent that the traumatised individual does not become isolated and increases his/her social circle for support. Any effective help that can be got for the child must also be attempted (without medication and unhelpful labels where possible).
      I strongly recommend the book "The Empathy Trap: Understanding Antisocial Personalities" by Dr Jane McGregor and Tim McGregor.
      (I always suggest trying to read a book objectively so that, as you meditate on the contents, you receive your own insights and suggestions that will work for you and may help others as not all the contents of a book will resonate personally).

    I've been dealing with so much hurt and pain from my son. I always believed him when he apologized and said he would change because I loved him. I wouldn't think twice. Over and over, when he would apologize for calling me fat bitches, whores, saying he would hit me, etc. I would never question it I would believe it was a new start only to be abused again. I was always worried about his well being because he didn't make good choices and he refused to treat his mental illness. I was deathly afraid that if I died he would be left here with no family and homeless living like people who roam around unclean talking to themselves. I kept offering help, giving him money, etc. I always believed he would get better stop treating me like shit but it got worst to the point where I was afraid of him. I was always scared he would kill me and his siblings. Nothing I did to motivate him worked. I would sit and dream with him talking about starting his clothing business only to be disappointed and caught off guard when he lashed out because he couldn't get his way. Last week my son was murdered and I believe that God is giving him rest. It's been a life of constant drama and worry being his mom. He's my 1st born, my best friend and I saw him respect his girlfriend(s) and actually turn her against me and she was even disrespecting me. I believe God is just and I'm remaining patient and asking Him to forgive my son and continue to give me ease. My mind is at rest and as crazy as it sounds I feel relief because I don't worry 24/7 that somethings going to happen to him terrible. It was tiring, he's 28. Would've been 29 on October 30. If you happen to read this forgive yourself and put yourself 1st because they will definitely put you last and in the gutter.

Whilst he was trying to suffocate or strangle me i said, "It's ok and I forgive you" Said "The lords prayer" because you never know and plus my depression makes me not want to live anyway! And kind of hoped it would work as a reverse psychology because you never know and it's odd for me or anyone to say that in that situation. However understanding that this is actually pretty common and because social services are involved for like the billionth time! I can only hope he gets the help to control his behaviour - It's definitely not ADHD for sure. All i know I have tried everything to teach him right from wrong!

My mother in law once broke my glasses when I tried to get her to take a shower after six days of no bathing. My mother couldn't do much but was much heavier so even getting her off the floor was a challenge and she was known for biting at some point. I'm just glad I didn't end up caring for my much heavier Dad. My daughter was always smaller than me but she once kicked me in the stomach when we were sitting down and nearly broke my ribs and once pummeled me with her fists when it was time to leave a friend's house and she was only four at the time. My used to scratch and bite people too and since he was always a big guy, he was able to do a lot of damage if he really wanted to.

    It's not bad parenting, it's a factor of other kids influencing each other to "stand up" to their parents when in fact, they are plain disobeying and doing things they shouldn't. I hear so many people saying, "Where are the parents to make these unruly kids behave and be accountable?" The parents were standing at the door, telling their son or daughter to stop misbehaving and stay home while being shoved away or swung at by the fist of their own child. It's the young people that are teaching other kids that they don't have to listen and they can do what they want. If the parent calls emergency services, they are accused of doing something wrong to the son or daughter. So, we don't want to hear where are the parents because making sons and daughters behave these days, would get the attention of first responders who cater to the children. I was at a loss as what to do. I pray that she takes steps to keep herself safe. I don't know everything that happened to her because she would take off and not tell us where she was but I pray that it has stopped. When things go this way, all parents can do is pray for their childrens' lives. Emergency services should open their eyes and help.

Having an abusive destructive child will ruin a person's life no doubt, it builds up lots of stress hormones cortisol it affects your health it's like being in an abusive relationship or abusive marriage like you said eventually it will destroy you, sometimes kids might become violent because the parents are violent or the kids are acting out because they were assaulted or molested but in the cases where the child is just born a horrible human being I really don't know what to do in those cases kicking the child out really is the only solution but sometimes to where who would want that child?

When all they are doing is prolonging irreparable damage and allowing the child to grow to damn near adulthood before doing anything, by then the kid gets up and moves out and never suffers their actions. People like you always assume parents are at fault. The whole system is rigged against the parent and the parent doesn't have and is not provided a choice except what the mental health and authorities say they can have, They are putting into action to take power away from the parent then scolding the parent for how their child turns out. Parents are never supposed to be a child's friend, Once the child is an adult then the parent takes position of the friend circle and gives suggestions but it is the adults decision.

      I must respectfully disagree based on personal experience. Some children are born with neurological anomalies or with mental illnesses that good parenting and therapy cannot effectively help. I know a little boy who was an absolute hellion from the beginning, very impulsive and destructive and dangerous - but he was a sweet little boy with a heart of gold. Something was simply wrong with his brain. When he hit puberty, the rush of hormones made him violent. His parents didn’t cause that in him, but they have suffered so much.

    This sounds like a way to scapegoat blame onto the child. If a child acts out and causes harm to a parent, it it important to determine what kind of environment the child is raise in. If the child is being raised in a dysfunctional setting, engaging in behavior observed from their parents, the child is a victim. If a parent physically abuses a child on a regular basis, and the child grows into a violent teen, you can't punish the child without holding the parents accountable as well.

If you challenge him about it he becomes threatening and aggressive. He has had counselling and all the efforts to turn him around have failed. The police will be called if he does anything more now and we are in the process of eviction. My personal take on this is that personality disorders account for a large proportion.

    This doesn't happen in ethic homes, Puerto Rican Mama's, Black Mama's, Chinese Mama's, etc.? It would turn back into child abuse... real quick.

      why are you making it sound like child abuse is a good thing?
      funny, when a child hits their parent it’s abuse and the parent is a victim. but when a parent hits their child people excuse it as regular discipline

      That’s not child abuse. It’s self-defense.

    So if parent abuse by children is a new concept, WHAT are we doing wrong, as parents? Discipline your children!

      Must be nice to see life in such simple black and white. Personally I’ve seen in my younger brother who was very abusive with my mother that it comes from a place of a sense of entitlement and false sense of hierarchy stemming from racism on his part. These situations stem from many different reasons and are not caused by a lack of discipline.

      It isn't a new concept. It is underreported as it is now seen as being politically incorrect. and so completely ignored. In our modern society the child is never to blame,although they are humans just like us. Their behaviour is viewed as being "learned behaviour" Whilst I endorse this safety net for child protection, (as they may not be able to communicate or respond to their situation), when things go wrong and the child is creating the abuse, it is very difficult to prove or manage. Despite repeated attempts on behalf of the parent to correct behaviours of verbal and emotional abuse,stealing,setting premises on fire,lying and leaving home for no reason.Very few mental health professionals would admit that these behaviours were not learned,and so the parent is tainted. You may as well say-if your child is good, you are a good parent,but if your child is bad, it's your fault. Generally, good nurturing can change a wilful young person, but there are unfortunately always exceptions to any rule. Anyone disputing this has probably successfully raised well adjusted offspring and has no experience of the hatred levelled toward the unsuspecting adult by their beloved children. Best kept secret of our time.

      siege j feels good to be a parent who disciplined my child. He has respect for both me and his dad. I have no regrets doing right by my kid.

      You are so right, in what you said about the child coppying, and joining forces with all the others, especially if your child sees you have no surport, or family that realy give a dam, and sees the family being two faced and actually just yousing the parents, this is what's happend with myn, and you then become a target, and I wished I'd never cryd, in front ofy son never showed my hurt because of unserporting family and friends, because they learn and sort of join in on the abusing, and start feeling very powerful, loving you feeling totally betrayed, and used and abused by another family member, and your so right about the grandchildren would become abusers to you to, very sad, and copy there parents. As for the other thing you said about a child who was abused, I was and you don't hit your parents would not want to would not dare, you are like a subservient to them or you cut your looses, iv learned a lot. And iv not been the perfect parent who is. Bit you try your best. The problem is that there are a lot of not so got d people around, and trying to keep your child away from me get I've people who are abusive. Is the best, but dosnt always work, kids will rebel go looking for theses family members and join forces, and sadly nothing you can do expect, sadly exept it and moove on pick up the peices and try to mend your broken heart, and live in hope, as that's all any of us have, and would say to people be careful who you decide to have children with. Such a shame that is the reality, and also anyone who has got brothers and sisters seeing mum be attacked, by your brother or sister, they do copy this behaviour, years after hpw do I know it happened to me. Sadly my son came running in to see this at 5 and he's now doing it himself
