This issue have been bothering me for a while now. I know someone who was a battered child. He would always have bruises and scratches when we were younger and so I asked him once the popular question "WOuld you still want the same father, if you have another lifetime?". His answer was "YES" and it kind of confused me. I weren't a battered child so my answer would definitely be a "Yes" but I just can't understand why some abused people would still want the people who have hurt them. What do you think is the explanation to that? We all know that families are not perfect, right? So would it really be a sin to wish for a better parent if we are given a chance to? I love my parents so much and of course I would still want them to be my parents on all the next lifetimes I would bw given. I just want to know if there are abused children in here and if ever they share the same sentiments..

Love and attachment are strong emotions and if a child has been raised with the same parents they are going to prefer those people over another enviornment simply because that is what they know and are used to. Besides you may not know for a fact thta the child was aboused. Most people like their hometowns because they represent comfort to them, same with your parents.

For those of us who grew up to be strong people despite our volatile childhoods it is a part of what makes us what we are. To lose that part of our lives would be to give up what it was in our pasts to makes as strong as we are now.
