When I hear an abuser say that they were abused as a child, so that is the reason for them being abusive. I say if you were abused you know how unhappy you felt so why do you feel okay to inflict the same kind of treatment on someone? Most of these crimes are done by people with money. I don’t know anyone who is sadistic, aggressive, brutal, cruel, vicious or merciless, but I probably do. They walk among us. There are hoodwinkers among us and the victims suffer in silence. When a victim stays silent their abuser is being protected. Abuse has been happening since time beyond our memory. These people are not of God. Lamentations 5:7. Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. 2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
