there's little point me posting information to bronco ----------- I just get idiotic responses - however, someone might pass some of this on
These days - it's getting easier to find reading ---------- AI is helping there a lot - it often lists studies etc - and one can read studies and see the reference lists - which one can then go and search
''where there is domestic violence is the single best predictor of whether children eventually become either perpetrators or victims of domestic violence themselves. For example, a boy who sees his mother being abused is ten times more likely to abuse his partner as an adult.''
''Yes, children who experience domestic violence in their upbringing are at a higher risk of becoming perpetrators or victims of domestic violence themselves later in life. The search results provide several key points:
Childhood abuse is commonly associated with becoming a perpetrator of domestic violence as an adult. Perpetrators of domestic violence commonly repeat acts of violence with new partners.[4] Children who are victims or witness domestic and family violence may believe that violence is a reasonable way to resolve a conflict.[4] Females who witness domestic violence as children are more likely to be victimized by their spouses.[4]
The search results also indicate that perpetrators of domestic violence often learn violent behavior from their family, community, or culture. They see violence and are victims of violence themselves.[4] This suggests that the cycle of domestic violence can continue across generations.
Additionally, the search results note that adolescent perpetrators of family violence are an under-reported and often unrecognized form of domestic violence. Adolescents who use violence against their family members may go on to become adult perpetrators of domestic violence.[5]
In summary, the search results clearly demonstrate that children exposed to domestic violence in their upbringing face a higher risk of becoming either perpetrators or victims of domestic violence themselves in the future.[1][4][5]

According to the search results, children who experience domestic violence are at a higher risk of continuing the cycle of abuse as adults:
- "Whether or not children grow up in a home where there is domestic violence is the single best predictor of whether children eventually become either perpetrators or victims of domestic violence themselves. For example, a boy who sees his mother being abused is ten times more likely to abuse his partner as an adult.Similarly, a girl who grows up in a home where her father abuses her mother is six times more likely to be sexually abused than a girl who grows up in a non-abusive home." [1]
- "Children that grew up watching a parent experience abuse are likely to deal with effects that last well into adulthood. Some of the long-term effects that children experience after witnessing domestic violence are addressed below. [...] Females who witness domestic violence as children are more likely to be victimized by their spouses." [2][4]
- "Males who learn that females are not equally respected are more likely to abuse females in adulthood." [4]
So the key references showing the link between experiencing domestic violence as a child and participating in domestic violence as an adult are:
