There are many reasons, or at least excuses. They include the following:
1. The abuser was abused too.
2. The abuser is using alcohol or drugs.
3. The abuser is under stress and has an anger problem.
4. Some get a sick thrill out of abusing others.
5. It helps them forget their own pain.
6. They try to discipline/confront and go overboard.
7. They feel the other person deserves whatever abuse.
As I said, a lot are excuses. Many to most who were abused never become abusers. If substance abuse is part of your problem, then you should seek to stop the substance abuse, not use the substance abuse as an excuse to physically or verbally abuse others. If you have a tough job or are under a lot of pressure, that is not the fault of your family or innocent bystanders. You could seek to eliminate the stress, get treatment for a stress disorder, and attend anger management.
