The form of domestic violence which doesn’t get so
much attention is parental abuse by their children. People do not know much
about this because parents who get abused by their children feel so much shame
and they don’t want to discuss it with anyone. Parents get abused by their
children in the form of physical or verbal abuse due to the aggressive
behavior of their children.
Some researchers think that parents themselves are
the reason behind the abusive behavior of their child but it’s not the case
always. Still there are some parents who try to convince themselves that the
aggressive behavior of their child is due to someone else and blame others,
this thing even worse for the children. Parents need to understand the behavior
of their children so they can be in a healthy relationship.
Multiple
Causes of Abusive
One of the most common causes of parental abuse is the
bad parenting practices by the parents themselves, as they neglect their
children in their early stages and abuse their children as well. Well there are
some other abusers who have normal upbringing and did not face any of bad
situation in their childhood, but they still abuse their parents.
This is
because these kinds of children have seen so much abuse and violence in
different TV shows and movies and also play video games like these. Other
causes of parental abuse are, children may face difficulties in their early
stages like they have to live with single parent or they witnessed the abusive
relationship among their parents or they have to suffer the unemployment and
alcoholic abuse of their parents.
Children started to harass their parents, they started
to abuse their parents verbally and emotionally and some destruction of
property may also occur. It’s very important to understand these kinds of
abusive behavior and need to be treated properly. Sometimes emotionally
interventions by others may lead the abusive behavior to higher level. Parents
also try to control the abusive behavior of their children by using some force
which also causes more problems.
Intervention
One of the ways to confront the parental abuser is
intervention. They key to prevent adult and teenager from parental abuse is to
stop them in their early stages, so their abusive behavior can be controlled
and don’t reach to the higher level of aggression.
Well intervention does not always work as we desired.
Sometimes children may suffer from some sort of mental health and that’s why
they can’t understand what is actually happening and what they are doing. They
just show their emotions in a way they understand which may be emotional,
physical or verbal abuse to their parents. This is also including destruction
of the property as well. So parents need to help their children and understand
them properly and try to intervene them according to the behavior of their
children.
