Childhood trauma is an education on love. Whatever your parents do to you, you will call love. To the abused child, this feels like anything but love, but that is precisely the point. The traumatized child grows to give or receive trauma, for that is what they know of love.
The beaten child does not like being hit. Hence I do not say, ‘like’. The child chooses what they like; the parent chooses what is understood as love, for the parent’s behavior toward the child comprises the child’s experience of love. Hence the traumatized child comes to believe that love and trauma overlap, and may not recognize them isolated from each other.
Trauma gets handed down generation-to-generation similarly to the way eye color does. The difference is, of course, that the abused child grows to make choices while not having chosen to have been abused. This brings to mind the adage.
Your past is not your fault, it is your responsibility.
