Absolutely. I think those who do understand this aren’t dictated by generation, age, or background, its experience. Some of the last people you’d expect to be knowledgable on this can be incredibly trauma informed and aware. I think something thats a lot more common is how carelessly people throw around commentary. They would never intentionally break someone down, or choose to be a bad role model. Through their lack of attention towards their own actions they can spread a message that is belittling and destructive.
Absolutely. People do to others what has been done to them. Most people don’t think about it.
