Whne you grow up only knowing violence (both words and actions), you can't imagine what the right/normal/kind acts would be. Even if you wanted to be kind, but because violence is the only one you learn, you don't know the right way to be kind. I know because me and my siblings growing up like that. We want to love someone, be kind to them, and protect them, but we don't know how to do it in a gentle way. We still talk harshly to them even when we want to show affection. We unconsciously do it harsh because speaking kindly is so unfamiliar.

Children of abuse may violence as protection, but they also best understand how terrible violence is. I’m a child of abuse too, I get impulsive and violent thoughts even to this day, bur NEVER have I ever acted to the full extent of these thoughts no matter how volatile I felt. my upbringing and my mental state doesn’t justify any sort of violence, much less r*pe. punch a wall? scream? sure. verbally, physically, and sexually abuse someone? absolutely not. he could literally just isolate himself if he felt any urges but he CHOOSES to abuse his power and others. and yes, choose, bc abuse doesn’t mean your mental state is altered enough to not have control over your actions. he doesn’t even have a condition like sociopathy where compulsions are stronger, but even then it’s not ever justified and it’s not uncontrollable either.
Being brought up with abuse should’ve made him understand how horrible that is. Why the hell would he do the same??? Do better you punk
