"Appa sometimes yells at her so loud. I get really scared."
"I hide inside the closet and close my ears when the fighting starts."
"I sometimes hug my mom tight when I hear dad's bike sound.
We don't know how the night will go."
Our children are the silent victims of domestic violence .
Growing up in a violent environment can have a lasting impact on a child. Their mental health, their physical well being, their interaction with peers, their self-esteem and communication can all be profoundly impacted. How they approach the world and their idea of a relationship is skewed when violence is normalized in the minds of young children.
If you and your children need support in breaking out of an abusive relationship, reach out to the Dhawani National Domestic Violence Hotline 1800 102 7282
