The trauma to children in family violence

Makes sense. They witness one of the more evil forms of violence, and they have no training to cope, and their support base is compromised.
Frankly, it's a surprise that they aren't worse off.

Well, my life just made so much sense now

Was that sentence grammatically correct?
Cause it sounds odd

What if they have both??

I've seen firsthand what this can do to kids (my former stepson saw quite a bit unfortunately) even after nearly eight years he still goes to therapy three times a week, and he's been out of that kind of environment for about six years.

It actually does change your brain structure, if it's consistent throughout your childhood you can end up with increased cortisol levels, anxiety, depression all that fun stuff. It sucks that some kids go through this and some still are

My stepdad was physically and mentally abusive to me and my brothers, and I now hate pretty much all physical contact and now have selective mutism (I don't talk). I haven't seen him in over a year but the trauma is still there.

I was definitely one of those children but I strongly believe that despite the trauma it helped me be who I am today. I was a very stubborn and stupid kid and if my current morals weren't beat into me who knows where I would be. The context of the abuse matters very much.

Why the fuck do you find this funny your a monster

I'm interested in seeing the study.
