"not everyone who has suffered abuse is necessarily an abuser"
Correct, otherwise they will marry one.
In one way or another the familiarity and conditioning of childhood abuse will be replicated in adulthood, period. Be it the abuser or the victim, the dance is very intimate, and the roles intertwine.
What you will NEVER find is a child raised in a loving and emotionally healthy environment pairing up with an abuser. We partner with our emotional equals - make no mistake about it. |
