Can domestic violence as a child cause trauma?
The only thing im afraid of is sleeping alone can that be from experiencing domestic violence as a child?
Answer:
Yes, domestic violence affects everyone in the home. Children are the silent victims.
"Children don't have to be physically or verbally abused to be hurt by domestic violence. Hearing or seeing the abuse of one parent by the other takes a huge toll on kids. They may...
Develop physical and/or mental problems that can last a lifetime.
They may:
*Grow up believing violence is a normal part of family life.
*Be more likely to be abusive as adults if they are males, and more passive and withdrawn if they are females.
*Live in daily fear of what to expect at home. Their lives may be filled with confusion, chaos, anger, and tension that can lead to lifelong fear and inability to trust others.
*Be isolated by an abusive parent who shuts off the family from outside help or support.
*Feel responsible for the abuse and powerless to stop it.
Note: Even if children are supposed to be in bed asleep, more than likely they hear the violence."
Children exposed to family violence are more likely to develop social, emotional, psychological and or behavioral problems than those who are not.
The trauma they experience can show up in emotional, behavioral, social and physical disturbances that effect their development and can continue into adulthood.
Is there a direct correlation between you not being able to sleep alone and domestic violence? Maybe, but don't think that everything that is wrong with you is about domestic violence.
That said, YES, ABSOLUTELY..domestic violence will have long lasting affects on all involved.
yeah it can.. get a psychologist to prevent further mental problems such as schizophrenia that can arise further down the road from negative childhood experiences.
could be. as a child, if you witness this kind of behavior, it sticks in your head as much as something pleasant would. but the bad seems to override the good and it can also mold how a person grows up. if violence is all they know, that's how their behavior may be.
so many different traumas can come out of domestic violence like, in your case, you don't like to sleep alone.
my real father was a very violent man, physically & mentally. I get nuts if someone in the family gets into a heated arguement. when my husband was alive, we NEVER had a screeming type arguement, we'd always walk away until we cooled off. this way nothing was said that couldn't be taken back and it didn't lead to being physical. we were married 30 wonderful yrs. I think that when he died, that was the most anger I had toward him, by leaving me when we still had so many yrs. left to live.
