On a similar note, I am not convinced that all abusers were once victims. Statistics usually connect abuse to victimhood, but that's never 100% the case. I wonder what circumstances could lead to someone who was never abused to become an abuser. I'm sure there is literally no limit to the possibilities. Which is actually quite sad.

In my experience the 1st person was from a loving home but the second was from a broken family so both cases are very different as well as what occurred in both incidents......it makes me wonder why people are the way they are and what causes them to inflict so much pain on one another

I think that as humans we are all inherently flawed. Some of us manifest our flaws with addictions to drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, power, money etc. Some of us drive too fast. Some of us just don't know how (or care to) relate to others. And some are angry and violent. I think it can all be summed up in one word: Selfishness. I'm not sure I have the cure for humanity. I've got my hands full just working on myself.

We can only take accountability for our own actions

I think that is a bit of an over reaction. You don't have to bail the first time she raises her voice at you, you just have to address that issue and make sure that both parties know where lie the boundaries for future disputes. It's a fact couples will have arguments, and sometimes emotions flare up and people raise their voices. This doesn't make it an abusive relationship. It is preferable that even in an argument that people maintain control and composure, but that's just not reality. It doesn't mean that it will lead to abuse, though.

noooo, surely not. Women are incapable of being the abuser. They are always the victim, always.
