What effects can child abuse have on an adult in later life?!
Question: The effects of child abuse can become very evident in adults and cause many issues when building relationships. Someone who has been abused as a child may have difficulty trusting another and have a lowered self-esteem, thus causing them to often engage in unhealthy relationships. Someone who had been abused may also become an abuser, as this is all that they have known. It is suggested that someone who has endured abuse of any kind (emotional, physical, sexual) seek assistance from a counselor over an extended period of time.

the abused become the abuser!
Victims often develop anxiety disorder.
It would depends what king of ABUSE and how they have learnt to cope with it
It all depends on the individual to be honest. It can go two ways, you can turn it on its head and not allow it to bother you, like put it to use (sounds nuts I know) but I mean like work with people who have been abused and work for the better. Or you can allow it to shape your life. There is no certain effect that it can have, it all depeneds on how the individual deals with the issue really.
Plus it also depends on what way the child was abused, ie sexually, physically or mentally.
People who have been sexually abused somethimes are very promiscuous from a young age, or on the flip side, put up barriers in their relationships because they have a negative view of it.
Physical abuse, people either become aggressive, or are very timid and allow people to walk all over them.
Mental abuse is difficult because it depends on being able to keep things away or cope with them. You either allow abuse to rule you or rule it instead. (But remember everyone is different and not all people act in the way that i mentioned).
Child abuse can have many effects on an adult in later life. The type of abuse, the amount of time it occurred over (months, years, etc), and the age of the child at the time of abuse can all make a difference in how it affects the adult.
Some later problems of people who have been sexually abused include drug/alcohol addictions, eating disorders, sleep problems, promiscuity, fear of sex, unable to trust other people, becoming a perfectionist, phobias or fears, and problems with intimacy and/or bonding emotionally with people.
People who are abused as children can go on to become abusers themselves. They see how they were raised and may not realize that it's not normal to abuse children, so they do it
These are just some of the things that adults can experience as a result of childhood abuse. Hope this helps.
Mince pie, thank god you only come out predominantly at xmas, means we dont have to put up with your tripe,get your facts right before accusing the abused of becoming abusers. you walter.
I agree totally with pinkangel, it all depends on how you are made up, how you cope with things in life,
The abused either becomes the abuser or realizes that they were abused as children, seeks counseling and breaks the chain of abuse.
