Yes child abuse is something I think any sane person, regardless of political affiliation, gender identity, sexual orientation etc can agree is horrific and should not happen.
My father broke the cycle of abuse. He was rough as guts but a good natured guy.
From the time I was able to speak, he absolutely drilled it into my head to immediately leave any man who so much as raised his voice to me. At the time I just shrugged it off as him being overprotective. But in hindsight there was a lot of trauma in his messages of avoiding abuse in relationships. Like it absolutely horrified him to think of a man hitting a woman or worse a child. To him a “real man” would never put his hands on a woman. And he grew up in a time where domestic abuse was not only common but practically normalised.
