My Mom physically and verbally abused us, because it was a cycle she had been through. She and her siblings were abused to the extreme to the point where they were in the news. This doesn't excuse her actions to me and my sisters, but it puts the abuse into perspective for us.

Wow that's so beautiful to see from your mom. Thank you for sharing this. Many of us do grow up with parents who were unaware of their own trauma and they weren't the best to us because of it. I think opening up about this all too commib experience will help us end this cycle

This is an issue that we must face as a community. Though I never thought I would share this message, I felt like it was very relevant to the discussion. I'm happy to see others thinking critically about the "why" (why do they do this) & not just the "how" (how did they abuse me)

I am glad that it touched you
it's a hard thing to come to terms with when parents perpetuate cycles of abuse. Mothers abusing daughters abusing daughters etc. But I never gave up on my Mom. And now our relationship is so much better.
