What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence is also "domestic abuse" or "intimate partner violence", can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. Abuse is physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that frighten, intimidate, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, injure, or wound someone. People tend to forget what the signs are towards domestic violence, and ignore it like if it was normal.
Domestic Violence Affects ...
This type of abuse affects the entire family,
especially children and the person who
is being abused. The person being abused tend
to have a hard time to heal, have trust issues,
or get into depression. kids tend to witness what is
happening at home and it makes a kid act out or be angry.
Children who witness domestic violence become aggressive themselves?
Children who’ve witnessed domestic violence often have confused and contradictory feelings about their parents. Often children feel torn over loyalties and caught in the middle of the conflict. For very young children, they may not yet have words to express the powerful feelings they have. When young children become aggressive, I see it as a response, a defense against their own feelings of extreme vulnerability.
