Breaking a cycle
posted at 9:12 AM | Permalink |
Not breaking a bicycle - you might brake a bicycle but why would you want to break one?! I'm speaking of breaking the cycle of abuse that one may have seen and therefore almost inexorably repeat. I recommend this article by Leslie Morgan Steiner for its simplicity and clarity, rare attributes for writing on this subject. I particularly appreciate her gracious and well-described awareness of how an abuser, almost always also abused or at least a witness to abuse, is miserable and deeply unhappy but caught in a trap that seems to find no release except through repeating the behavior.
