Actually this isn't nearly as much a generalization as Sharon thinks.
Studies of child abuse, and incest cases show overwhelming correlations to
the fact that what is done by the parents is passed on to the kids. If you
are brought up in a household where 'love' is a brush on the backside, that
is how you learn to show it. In some ways it is too bad that it is so
simple to have children.....
