Only with love and understanding
can we
break the cycle of abuse,
whether it is
verbal or physical. They are
both very
hurtful. One damages physically
and the
other mentally. For the abused,
the
wounds to the heart never
heal. They
carry the scars all their
lives and pass
the abuse from one generation
to the next
untill the cycle is finally
broken.
" You're so stupid "
" You're worthless"
" This is all your fault"
" You'll never amount
to anything"
"I wish you were never born"
********************
We never mean to hurt the
children
for they are just children,
full of
blind faith, total trust and
boundless
love. All they want
or need is to
"Love" and be"Loved"
without
boundaries or fear of being
hurt.
