The Journey of Abuse
Teach Your Children Well
That night, Johnnys father was arrested with a prostitute and his mother kicked her husband out.
For the next two years his mother took out her rage on Johnny, beating him daily and warning him to not be like his father. Every day she would tell him how prostitutes were a curse to mankind and the destroyer of homes.
This turned him into an antisocial introvert with no friends and failing grades by the time he was 13.
By the time he was 18 he had been in and out of juvenile hall and jail 8 times. He could only get menial jobs and relationships were out altogether.
When Johnny was 23 he killed his first prostitute. In the next 11 years there would be 17 more before he was finally caught.
This is no fiction story. It is absolutely real. People are not born bad. They are made bad by other people, and in this case, Johnnys own mother turned him into a killer. His life was driven by an obsession of anger, which he had no control over.
Please try to understand this and be forgiving instead of condemning.
If you have small children, you need to understand that for your child, you are the creator, and your job doesnt end till that child leaves the nest (home). You can create a masterpiece or a disaster. There are many kinds of abuse and all are harmful. Even neglect will cause future problems.
If there is a bad generation of children its because there is a bad generation of parents. If you ever tell your child he or she is a bad child, you need to go look in a mirror and ask yourself where you went wrong.
Parents, Im putting it all on you because you are the sculptors and your children are precious balls of clay. It is up to you to raise up a generation of Children of God. Children will carry whatever you give them, and if you gave them anger and pain, that is what you are forcing them to carry all their lives. Teach them love. Teach them kindness and sharing thru example. Do your jobs as parents. Amen
