>Are abusers aware of the abuse they inflict on others
In my opinion, if they dont know, they dont want to know. They are in denial.
My mom told me that she was sorry for everything that she did but she followed it up with "But you were such a bad child" I think the abuser finds reasons/excuses for their actions.
I may have been a little strong willed, but like my husband said, "I did not deserve the beatings and the verbal abuse."
If I was such a bad kid, how come I was never on drugs, and the ONLY man that I have ever had sex with is my husband?
So to answer your question, Yes they know.
