There is no known statistics on how many sexual abusers were abused themselves. It is important to keep in mind that not every person that was abused will go on to be abusers.

Research suggests that a significant percentage of sexual abusers have experienced some form of abuse themselves. However, it's important to note that not all individuals who have been abused go on to become abusers. Factors such as individual differences, access to support systems, and therapeutic interventions play a role in determining whether a victim of abuse will become an abuser.

Do sexually abused kids ever want to be around their abusers after the abuse has occurred?

I have worked in foster care for years, and unfortunately, many children still want a relationship with their abuser, especially if it is a close family member. Because of their deep desire to have a positive relationship, they often "fanatsize" that it was a one time occurrance or did not even happen at all. They can blame themselves instead of the abuser. The emotions and relationships are very complicated and it is not easily answered briefly. Of course, many hate their abusers and do no want to have anything to do with them, while others fall somewhere in between.

Where did the idea that an individual who is abused will grow up and be an abuser originate?

The idea that an individual who is abused will grow up to be an abuser originated from early psychological theories, such as Freud's psychoanalytic theory. Freud suggested that individuals who experienced abuse, particularly in childhood, may internalize the traumatic experiences and later perpetuate similar behavior. However, it is important to note that this idea is not universally true, as many individuals who have experienced abuse do not become abusers themselves.

Are abusers aware of their behavior?

This, actually, is the TYPICAL case. Abusers are constantly in denial. See these: http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/abuse4.html http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/faq73.html Abusers may be in denial of their abusive behavior, however we all have a sense of what is right and wrong behavior. We all have a sense of how we would like to be treated, including abusive people. I believe they know they are "in the wrong," but refuse to accept that. Sadly, many abusers probably were abused themselves and "blame" that as how they are. I don't believe in that trap. I grew up with an alcoholic parent and from a young age said I was not going to be like that because I hated how I felt. God Bless
