I can't say I know the stats for prevalence of abuse in the general community, but the prevalence in 12 step programs (I've been going since '98), is crazy. Anywhere between 1/3 and 2/3 of members in the meetings I've been to have suffered some form of abuse as children. I suffered psychological abuse, a lot of which was considered a form of parenting at the time (70's) in my community. I also had exposure to porn (I found dad's stash) as a pre-pubescent. Today I'm an addict in recovery with clinical diagnoses for depression and ADD. Living a good life today, but still attending meetings and seeing a psychologist.
