Children Are Impacted Too...
Domestic violence doesn't just affect the person being abusedβit affects the children who witness it.
Children exposed to domestic violence may experience anxiety, depression, difficulty in school, sleep problems, and feelings of fear and insecurity. Even when they don't see the abuse directly, they often feel the effects.
Many mothers want to leave, but it's rarely that simple. They may face:
π Concerns about housing and financial stability
πΆ Fear of losing support for their children
π Threats from the abuser
π Emotional manipulation and trauma
βοΈ Legal or custody concerns
Leaving is often the most dangerous time for a survivor, which is why support, safety planning, and understanding are so important.
