(class blog) Abuse Cycle

        Abuse cycle is basically a cycle of generation to generation abusing their children. For example if I abuse my child and make sure he does what I say, he would probably do the same to his child because of what I did to him. The reason why I think this happens is because when you are being abused by someone it hurts a lot. And you tell yourself that you will not do that to your children because it was so bad. But with out knowing you end up doing the exact same thing to your kids that your parents did to you. The pain you went through was still alive in your body and needed some comfort, but had to be expressed in a way. But you end up not controlling it and doing the same to you kids like Troy did.
      I think the way to stop this cycle is to not be like your parent. For example if I was to be abused by my father, and I told my self I will not do the same to my children. The thing I would have to do differently is to be nothing like my father. That would mean move far away, do things that keep you happy and forget about the past. Unlike Troy and Cory where Troy was stuck in the past and kept mentioning  what happened in the past  with his mistakes and what he could have done. Which brings up another example, Cory was under Troys roof and had to live by his rules. But Cory mentioned he did not even want to go to his fathers funeral because he wants to be nothing like his father, he wanted to say no one time.
      Abusing is not a good way to raise your kids, it has been proven in studies also. What Troy did was not acceptable but he did what he wanted to. But still today kids get abused by their parent or guardian which again is not right. The thought that goes to parents and guardians  heads is that they  were abused when they did something wrong when they were younger, so they think they should apply the same to their kids. But smart people will know not to do that.
