A lot of people seem to be interested in the fact that those who were abused as children continue on to relationships where they are abused as adults. I have had much psychobable in my life and several years of therapy. Sometimes I think I analyze things way too much. I am a survivor of emotional incest, physical abuse, and emotional abuse - which is different from emotional incest in that it employs yelling, degredation, and the like, rather than excessive closeness and spousalizing of the child. I feel fairly nervous posting here but I need to talk on both sites because I am now dating a man who was abused as a child. He became abusive himself as a child, which is fairly common. I love him and he also has had much therapy and proclaims himself like the recovering alchoholic, never fully cured, but removed from immediate and intense temptation. I'll share more later in private forums but this is basically my intro. I hope that there are people who are going through similar things and that we can help eachother.
