The kids suffer the most from the damaging affects of an abusive household. They will more than likely get into abusive relationships. It does not matter if they end up being abused or being the abuser, they will continue the cycle of violence. This is because they do not know any different unless we show them different.
By and through our efforts to recover from the abuse we have suffered we begin to show our kids that they to can have a life free of abuse. This is something that will take a life time of work to accomplish and at times it may feel like you have lost the battle or even the war.
Keep the faith and continue to move forward. Remember that the abuse you have suffered in the past does not define who you are and what you are to become. That is something that is entirely up to you and only you. You are in control of your life and no one else. God has always wanted you to have an abundant life so have one and live one. Even when the kids seems to gravitate towards the abusive life you have left. Continue to live an abuse free lifestyle and that includes not allowing your kids to abuse you.
