Children of Domestic Violence

I listened to some of the survivors tonight and realized that there are a few key subjects that concern these victims even though it has been years since they were victimized by their abuser. I think the biggest concern was that their children may carry on the cycle of abuse. ONce you realize you are being abused, gut out of the situation and get counseling for you and your children, and maybe the cycle can be broken.

The second thing the victims had problems getting over was the fact that their home should have been a safe place and instead it was worse than living on the street and the fact that physical wounds heal but injuries to the soul never heal.
