They rationalize it by thinking, “It must be because I deserve it. My parents are perfect; the only reason they’d hurt me is because I’m flawed.” Without processing or healing, this belief can persist into adulthood, manifesting in self- destructive behavior and a conviction that they inherently deserve negativity. As adults, they begin to fulfill this self-fulfilling prophecy by distancing themselves from others, retreating, shutting down emotionally, and exhibiting disrespect. Childhood abuse can profoundly impact individuals’ self- perception and sense of worth into adulthood. Subsequently, they reinforce their belief by interpreting the outcomes of these behaviors as evidence of their inherent unworthiness.
