Cats are awesome. Even the ginger ones are cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really comfortable with this idea that "the abused become abusers". The reality is that there is a lot more people who are abused than who abuse. I think that for people who are abused, the idea that they might go on to abuse others, and it seems almost expected that they will, is not that helpful.
