The Experience of Living with Violence for Preadolescent Children of Battered Women

Abstract: Based on in-depth interviews with preadolescents and their mothers, a detailed description is provided of the experience of children who were exposed to violence at home. Findings are organized into five semichronological phases: (a) living with ordinary fights, (b) witnessing violent events, (c) being challenged by mothers' public confrontations of the violence, (d) adjusting to new realities in the long-term aftermath of violence, and (e) living with violence as a history. Discussion centers on the meanings … Show more

“…Children who grow up in families affected by domestic violence and abuse have a higher risk of mental health difficulties throughout their lives (Bogat, DeJonghe, Levendosky, Davidson, & von Eye, 2006;Meltzer, Doos, Vostanis, Ford, & Goodman, 2009;Mezey, Bacchus, Bewley, & White, 2005;Peltonen, Ellonen, Larsen, & Helweg-Larsen, 2010), increased risk of physical health difficulties (Bair-Merritt, Blackstone, & Feudtner, 2006); risk of educational drop out and other educational challenges (Byrne & Taylor, 2007;Koenen, Moffitt, Caspi, Taylor, & Purcell, 2003; For some time, researchers and activists have called for recognition of the impact of domestic violence on children in families and the consequent importance of taking children's experiences seriously. For instance, Peled (1996Peled ( , 1998 suggested that children should not be regarded as 'secondary victims' in domestic violence, given the impact of violence on them, while Mullender et al (2003) noted the importance of children's 'active participation' in domestic violence services, suggesting that this meant children "being listened to and taken seriously as participants in the domestic violence situation; and being able to be actively involved in finding solutions and helping make decisions." (p.121).…”

“…[91] Çocukların, ya biyolojik ya da üvey babaları tarafından istismar edilenlere göre, kendi anneleri tarafından istismar edildiklerinde, özgüvenlerinin daha düşük olduğu bildirilmiştir. [92] Anneleri şiddet gören evlerde yaşayan çocukların, başkalarının nasıl hissettiği-ni anlama konusunda daha az çaba gösterdikleri ve olayları başkalarının bakış açılarından değerlendirdikleri saptanmıştır. [37] Aile içi şiddetin yaşandığı evlerde, şiddet uygulayan kadınların çocuklarını şiddete maruz kalanlara göre (hırpalanan, battered) daha fazla istismar ettikleri gözlenmiştir.…”

“…Ao optar por esta metodologia estaremos capazes de fazer descobertas sobre a forma como as crianças percebem as suas experiências e perceber o impacto que essas perspectivas têm na experiência e comportamento individuais, nomeadamente na modelagem dos comportamentos, pensamentos e sentimentos (Ericksen & Hendersen, 1992;Sani, 2002). O estudo segue as linhas de orientação dos estudos fenomenológicos, que, segundo Patton (conforme citado por Peled, 1998) focam-se na questão: qual é a estrutura e a essência da experiência deste fenómeno para estas pessoas? Os investigadores tentam descrever a experiência subjetiva dos sujeitos da maneira mais completa possível, explorando o fenômeno sem expectativas preconcebidas.…”
