...that people who have been sexually abused as bairns become abusers. What about abused who never go down that road? In the surreal methods of 'public justice' that exists in the UK, regarding sexual crime (beating up of paediatricians, etc.) would people who came out as abused in years gone by in the usual morning shows - Jeremy Kyle, one of them, catering for the socio-economic lower classes - be accused of either lying in his youth, or lying now, as according to the populist section of the media, abusing is a 'natural progression' from being abused.

Katrina...calm down! It's the ones who have not turned into their abusers I ask about...if anyone will have a rough deal in life, it is them yes. Memory and trusting future partners - etc.

Thank you so much, Angel...my hopes of receiving an answer for someone who understood my question was beginning to become depressive. The reason why I asked it was that I read a piece in a social magazine some days ago. The main point thus was the lives of such people as they get older - could they confide in good friends or partners, or even wives. If they have attained a maturity that would make them brave enough to get it off their chests (I know...an odd way of putting it, but I'm sure you know what I mean), would the gamble pay off, with them living the rest of their lives in peace, realising they can now live in normality - or will they be given the 'hooded eyed' treatment, producing enough regret to harm themselves - or perhaps harm the person who they thought they could trust.

mmm valid point, i think. i was abused as an early teen on three occasions. if anything it has made me extremely aware of other people-takes me a long time to trust anyone. my husband and i were just going out together when i was abused for the third time and he was great-very supportive and still is now. we have 2 girls and i have just started to loosen the reigns a little with my 10 year old. i am certainly not an abuser, like i said if anything it made me more aware.

not nessessarly at all. it all depends on how they deal with this, and what is their understanding of the issue. the other side of thoughts is that if your experience abuse, you would never abuse others becuase you know excatly how it feels. I think environmental factors and family plays a big role in this specially surrounding environment immediatly after the abuse has taken place as well as the final result for the issue , meaning, the way that the issue has been resolved. has the abuser been punished? was their any satisfactory action taken against the abuser? and how did the person who have been abused cope with this problem.

This is oppressor theory, if you have been oppressed yourself, you are likely to take it out on others later. A bit of pop psychology that does have some anecdotal support, but I don't think you can generalise from it.
I mean, some people apply it to geopolitics, and point to the state of Israel!

No, not necessarily. It usually transpires that most people who become abusers have been abused in their past but not all people who abuse go on to be abusers.

Its a fact that a high..er proportion of abused do go on to abuse.
Read the stats if you dont believe it. then come back here and tell me i/we are wrong?
Its a sad stat but not all abused go on to abuse. believe me on this one!
