Brief Explanation To begin with, what is a FAMILY? This seems quite simple and common sense and almost everyone would agree that it is something that is good. Although the definition of ‘FAMILY’ may vary from cultures and societies, it is generalized down to people living together who are related by blood, marriage, adoption, or sometimes even when just living in the same residence (Tillman and Nam, 2008).
FAMILY ABUSE & VIOLENCE
Types of Abuse & Violence -Emotional abuse -Psychological abuse -Neglect -Financial exploitation -Destruction of property -Physical assault -Sexual assault -Homicide -(+)
This as whole is referred to as a NUCLEAR FAMILY. Even more so, one receives protection, feel love, basic necessities are provide, and much more. However, this not the case for everyone and there are many people suffering from ABUSE & VIOLENCE that are happening within their home that are committed by own family members.
Family Abuse and Violence is when within a relationship of a family is broken and a member of a family has engaged in exploitative behaviors through utilizing their power (Health Canada, 2009). *Female and Child (ren) are much more likely to be victims of Family Abuse and Violnce*
PHASE 1: Tension-Building -> PHASE 2: Violence -> PHASE 3: Period of Remorse -> PHASE 4: Back to Phase 1
In Phase #1, tensions between the members of family build up for whatever reasons. All that tension is carried on to the next phase where the explosion occurs. This is when the ABUSE & VIOLENCE occurs and whoever it may be within the family, they will suffer the pains of the list mentioned above. When the tension settles down, the provocateur comes back to the state where they are once again a loving person who act like they have remorse for what they have done. DO NOT BE FOOLED. More likely, they provocateur will strike again and repeat these cycles from phase 1. Therefore, it is a cycle which can be seen as a trap for the victims.
