A very interesting topic for discussion.
I've heard/read many a story of children subjected to horrific abuse at the hands of their care giver and in spite of their abuse turn out to be incredibly caring/loving beings. While others who have received the best of the best evolve into monsters. Who can figure?
But at what age do we stop seeing someone as the victim, no longer feeling sympathy for the abused, and switch to seeing them as the monster?
I'd hate to know what kind of a person I would have turned out to be like had my father treated me as so.

You give to the world when you're giving your best to somebody else.
