What is the positivist thought on child abuse?

I personally was abused for a while as a child and I didn't get anything "positive" out of it. But it did make me think when I was older not to treat others that way. Guess it was lucky because brutality does breeds brutality. If I had to say one thing positive about child abuse, it would be...nothing. Its a terrible thing to have to go through. If someone else has a "positive" thing to say about child abuse I would love to hear them try and say it. Without them having to think twice about it anyways...

How does child abuse happen?

Child abuse (verbal to physical and not sexual) can occur if one or both parents have been brought up in an environment of abusive behavior. It has always been believed that all women (of any age) love children, but this is not true and some wish not to have children for reasons of their own. Doctors discovered a few years ago that women who have given birth may suffer from 'postpartum blues' which is a hormonal imbalance and can cause the mother to become depressed where she may ignore her baby or possibly, in a small percentage of cases harm the baby. Every woman is an individual and while some mothers have the patience of a Saint with their child or children some women can become abusive if they cannot control a baby from constantly crying to a small child that is active and into everything. Sexual abuse by mainly the father (but a small number of mothers have sexually abused their sons) this can often generate down from the environment in which they grew up. Often sexual abuse with a male or female parent goes unnoticed for years and there is no test a doctor can give to tell if a parent may or may not become sexually abusive to their child.
