I think my sister has a severe mental problem

My sister was sexually abused from when she was about 9 - 14 years old. She had a child when she was 16 and now she has another (ages 6 & 2). When the eldest was 3, he pulled down the kettle and it caused severe burns and scaring to his face and chest. Now the 2 year old has just done the same thing, but the burns has affected from the nipples down. My sister has a lot of anger towards the children and she is on depression medication. Does anyone think that she might be doing this to her children?? Or is it just me, thinking the worst, because of her reactions to the kids???

I hate to say it, but she is providing what she got. People are repetitive especially when it happens to them. She is re-living what occurred to her as a child. People take out on their children they only the thing that they KNOW, which is learned. We must not just judge, and try to understand, although it is the most difficult thing we observe. She loves, but knows no better. What she experienced is all she knows to do. I am soooooo sorry that this fact is public. Things that happen in the home usually stay in the home. I had to learn to walk away from my own kids when they were throwing tantrums because I would get so angry. I would never hurt them in any way shape or form. They are my life, that is why I would walk away. Walking away is the best

policy.

She is overwhelmed, and needs more family support to help her to make it on her own. She needs a SMILE and time away from the kids. Pick up some slack and volunteer to take care of the kids. Its hard to deal with, what she has been through at the age she started.
