People who have been abused find it extremely difficult to function in basically every facet of life comparatively to someone who has not had their innocence/trust taken from them at a young age.
Often they are unable to communicate effectively. Have trouble regulating emotions. Obviously will be unable to trust fully for the rest of their lives. So they have fractured and co-dependent relationships. Not to mention the layers of identity issues and personality disorders.
So yea, they have it pretty shit.
Still, I have no sympathy for those who decide to re-offend and fuck someone else's life up like they had theirs.
