Who is the abuser?

The first two blogs I talked about how parents spank or punish their children. I also talked about some consequences these parents receive for child maltreatment. Now I will present to you the question What about parent abuse? Do you know that parent's abuse exist?. Yes,it is a reality. There are many parents who suffer abuse by their children. Here is an example how this mother has being abuse by her dougther. Mis Lopez, is a neighboor, who lives in third floor. I live in second floor; same building. Mis Lopez, is a nice lady, quites, and a single mother. She has a eleven years old dougther. This girl has a big mouth. Every body in the building hear her big nasty mouth when she talks to her mother. This girl yell, disrespect, and even punch her mother. Every body in the building who know her, and know how this girl disrespect her tell her to report this abuse. Mis lopez said, she is afraid her dougther, run away from home. She prefer to suffer in silence. One day I remember I went shoping, there was Mis. Lopez with her dougther in the store. I observed how this girl yelled to her mother because she did not buy the jeans she wants. Mis. Lopez, tried to explain her dougther she did not have enough money to buy it. So guess what this girl did to her mother infront of every body?. Pushed her against the wall. What should this mother do?. Look for help, receiving counseling, or continuing with this abuse?.




According to National Clearing house on Family Violence, conflicts becomes abusive when one person uses threats, force or manipulation to gain power over the other.


I think parents in this situation need to understand that they are the adults, as parents they have the authority and leadership in family. They also need to know how to to be in charge, ro realize they have the right to set limits and to say "This is my house and you can not behave that way in it. Now What do you think about this blog?.
