It should be noted that the belief that abuse is solely inflicted upon women is highly mistaken.

During Tyler Perry's childhood, his father, who struggled with alcohol addiction, became a significant part of Perry's personal experience with abuse.

At the tender age of 10, Perry was subjected to a sexual assault by his friend's mother, while his grandmother, on another occasion, administered an ammonia bath to supposedly alleviate his allergies.
