Call the nl2br function with the database text in parameter before putting it in your textarea.
The \r\n characters are ASCII “invisible” characters, coding the carriage return and the line feed, or, if you prefer, the fact that there is a new line.
You need to change those ASCII code into HTML code, which is exactly what nl2br does.
