Families and Acquaintances Adjust to Child Abuse

 

In this file I am referring to unintentional child abuse, the kind that

does not require that the abuser take therapy or go to prison.

 

The need to hide abuse:

Most people, including parents and families, find the topics of abuse and recovery to be awkward. It hints of (what they believe to be) shameful mistakes. They would rather ignore the topic and have difficulty talking about it, especially if it has happened to someone they know.

The people I know who have probably been mildly abusive parents prefer to remain in denial about their own weaknesses, and they prefer that all of their family members keep abusive experiences a secret.

 

 

 

Comments? Questions?

Due to the complexity of today's world, a lot has changed.
so I have withdrawn a lot of my outdated opinions.
