Usually that type of person grew up with the same treatment. That poor kid will probably end up just like her and then people will see him behave that way and hate him for it. I do psychiatric transcription and I see some amazing and disturbing things some of these people have done, especially drug addicts. But then when I hear about what some of them went through growing up, it is really no wonder they are so messed up, and it perpetuates itself. One that stands out in my memory very strongly was a woman who as a child had witnessed her parents beat her little sister to death. They went to prison and then she was sexually abused by foster parents. It is no surprised she turned to drugs and alcohol to escape. I'm sure she does not behave "normally" but how in the world could someone be normal after growing up that way? It is like hating a vicious dog even though it got that way by being horribly abused. I'm not saying every case is that way, but most are.

It is so sad for the little boy but also for the woman. I cannot imagine she is living a happy and meaningful life filled with love. I wonder at what has happened to her to make her so bitter and cruel.
