[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, [b]my therapist told me that my kids were soaking it all up, and that abusive relationships would feel normal to them[/b]. That is one reason I had to leave. I couldn't let the verbal/emotional abuse perpetuate in the next generation.[/quote] I did not soak up my father's emotional and physical abuse towards my mother. In fact, I've abhorred it since childhood; it never ever felt "normal." I fell in love and married a kind and loving partner; our child is safe from abuse. I'm sorry, it just really bothers me when therapists fill people's heads with nonsense like "your children will grow up to be abusers or victims of abuse." Or, "he cheated, so he can only raise cheaters." Armchair psychology. Find a better therapist, if you're still using one.[/quote]
