And The Children?
|
|
The real danger of domestic violence is not simply
that the man may kill the woman.
She, who lived a fairly normal life until marriage
has wound up in an abusive situation, and not
only doesn't leave, but brings children into it.
Children who will be corrupted by this unnatural
relationship between the parents,and might also
become targets of the abuse.
Men who beat their wives usually beat their
children. So the woman has now supplied new
victims.
Even if he does not physically abuse them, if
it is 'only' verbal, that will still permanently
scar them.
They may grow up with a lack of self confidence,
which will handicap them. They may grow up to
be foul mouthed and violent.
The girls will believe that the relationship between
the abusive father and punching bag mother is normal.
Many will become battered wives, because this is what
they have been taught.
The boys will learn to be abusive. This is how a man
acts.
So it is no longer the woman victim who 'survives'
the abuse, it is the woman victim who becomes
a co-conspirator in the destruction of her children.
