TYPES OF ABUSE

This type of abuse can be any of the above. It comes into being because of the perpetrators own history as a victim of abuse (or witnessing such in growing up). A male child that grows up in a male abusive environment (that is where the father is a perpetrator of abuse) will most probably become a perpetrator himself. Girls who grow up where Mum is a victim (or they themselves were victims) will often end up as victims in a relationship. Statistically speaking, women who end an abusive relationship will, with around a 95% rate, end up in another abusive relationship. All of this happens because abuse becomes habitual and they, while hating the abuse, feel more comfortable with it than they do in a relationship where they are allowed to be free. With the males, that is the way they saw their father treat their mother (and maybe their sisters) and so their habits are also formed for the future. The cycle just keeps going around.
