I think this is a key point.
Abuse is often associated in this society with the actions of lower-class people, as though the wealthy never abuse.
It is also assumed that therapy ie “help” can and will fix everything.
But people need BOTH.
Community support and therapy.
I do believe that abuse cycles continue because people don’t have community support. They only occasionally have accountability, usually only if marginalized, in which case punishment often seems unfair because it is.
