Even if your children aren't being abused by your abuser, they are being directly affected
by the abuse that is going on in the home. Thier mind, emotions and their hearts are all being negativly affected.
My children's father was abusive to me. I was verbally abusive to my daughter. My daughter began to be verbally
abusive to her younger brother. Abuse is a visous cycle. I died inside when I realized what I was doing and what
was happening with my daughter and my son. I was full of so much anger, I unknowingly spilled it over onto my kids.
Once I realized what was going on I took action to repair the damage. I went to my daughter and told her that I was
very sorry and then we discused what was happening with her and my son. We cried together and have been trying to deal
with our anger in better ways. Things get a little better every day. But we still have a lot of healing to do.
