Children of the abuse often feel isolated and vulnerable. They are either seeking for attention, affection, or approval (Katz, 2016). This is because the family member who was abused is struggling to survive, they is often not present for their children. Because the abuser is so consumed with controlling everyone. They also is not present for their children. These children often become physically, emotionally and psychologically abandoned (Katz, 2016). Not only that, but this affects the influences on the children. Children who witness the domestic abuse often suffer emotional and psychological trauma from living in homes where their fathers abuse their mothers or vice versa.
