@styledbysurvival: In honor of domestic violence month: Children who grow up in homes where the father abuses the mother don’t “just get over it.” 💔 They carry invisible wounds that can last a lifetime. Here are the real effects on children who witness domestic abuse: • Chronic anxiety and emotional hypervigilance • Low self-esteem and self-blame • Fear of conflict and constant people-pleasing • Sleep problems and nightmares • Anger outbursts or emotional withdrawal • Difficulty trusting others or forming healthy relationships • Problems focusing and learning at school • Guilt for not being able to “protect” their mom • Higher risk of repeating toxic cycles as adults No child should have to heal from a home they grew up in. 🕊️
