Your Children

Children are often more aware of what’s going on than adults realise. They are very sensitive to the atmosphere of the house, and in many situations see or hear the abuse directly or its consequences. Each child responds differently to domestic abuse. One child may appear to cope well, while another may be very upset. All children are affected by domestic abuse.

 

‘……one night he came in drunk and I wanted to take the kids home to see my mother for her birthday and he said no. He started screaming and roaring all these things at me…..and then he ran upstairs and got the kids out of their sleep and when I tried to stop him he started hitting me and the kids were trying to push him away, crying, begging him to leave mammy alone.’
