The impact of domestic violence on children
Hey all!
I’ve been trying to find an answer to this question for years now, and it’s led me to Reddit.
To put it simply, my father’s abused and cheated on my mother ever since I was a child while she had cancer. It traumatised me as a kid but when I grew up I finally got the courage to stand against him on multiple occasions.
As a Muslim, will I be held to account? There’s a lot about respecting your parents and all I get that, but when it comes to this it clouds my mind. I can’t quite explain the mark it’s left on me and my mother.
The marks that get left on women due to abusive husbands makes my blood boil. Both the visible and invisible marks.
But the children that get caught up in that are rarely talked about in my opinion. I believe they should be too.
