Children may blame
Children may blame themselves for the violence or have trouble sleeping. They may
begin wetting the bed or having nightmares.
Children who witness or are a part of domestic violence may regress to an earlier stage of development. They may show signs of fearfulness or anxiety and begin destructive or aggressive behavior. Other short term effects of domestic violence may include cruelty to animals or bullying others. Children may experience stress related illnesses like stomachaches or headaches. You may also notice speech difficulties and a withdrawal from people or activities. Watch for drug or alcohol abuse.
There are also many long term effects from domestic violence. Destructive and violent behavior often follows those who have
experienced domestic violence as children. Some children learn to handle their anger and frustration with the violence they
have witnessed. Other children grow up to abuse alcohol or drugs. There are often problems with stress and anxiety.
Children who have grown up with domestic violence may exhibit a loss of trust or have emotional problems.
Children who have lived with domestic violence should be protected from further violence and should be told and shown that any kind of abuse is wrong.
