The Grown Child Effect…

Adults living with non resolved issues from childhood may effect adulthood and possibly parenthood.
An Article on Mercola.com reports the following:
Women who were physically or sexually abused as children are far more likely to enter into abusive relationships as adults. The study findings suggest that identifying and helping girls who are being abused or are at risk for abuse can help break the cycle of family violence.
Women who were raped before the age of 16 were more than three times more likely to experience domestic violence as adults and nearly three times as likely to be raped. The frequency and severity of childhood abuse was also associated with abuse in adulthood. Women who abused drugs or alcohol were also significantly more likely to be abused.
The researchers note that abused adults have been found to have higher rates of unemployment and poverty. Sexual abuse is also associated with unwanted pregnancies, multiple sex partners and psychiatric problems.
Overall, 9% of women reported that they had been raped in childhood, 11% reported unwanted sexual activities but no intercourse, 5% said they had been severely beaten by a parent or caretaker one time, and 12% said they had been beaten more than once. Two percent of women reported experiencing all forms of abuse during childhood.
As adults, 17% of the women said they had experienced domestic violence with more than one partner. Eight percent had been raped, and 9% had been sexually assaulted but not raped. Family violence is not only a social and legal issue, but a health issue as well. End

This is a topic that needs to be addressed in more ways than one. A lot of the problems we women face or have faced have always been a subject that we can’t or won’t talk about, whether it’s from embarassment or in some way in your mind you think it’s your fault, and often times it does have a lot to do with the adult decisions you make in your life and how you view life in general, looking forward to hearing Frederick speak on this very taboo topic.

When it comes to issues from childhood that aren’t resolved, I would say that those unresolved issues does go into adulthood. Overall, it’s a matter of trust. Once a child’s trust is broken, it leads to an adult who doesn’t trust.

Blessings to all….I do my best even though it’s been said it takes a village to raise a child but if the village is lost then, where is the child’s help? We must pray together even though we may be far apart our spirit will be as one…God answers Pray…I will continue to do my best. Bible scriptures for the Youth is always food that can help a wounded soul……God Bless!!

The physical things taht occur to our ‘bodies’ must and should always be seperated from our minds and souls. Physical afflictions can more easily be corrected than the damage we allow to penetrate our minds and souls. Brush it off and get going again. Cultivate and work on your spiritual(mind and soul) side. this will pull all parts together and keep you going. Love thyself (GOD) and all evil,unjust,unfair things will pass.peace& love..
