Outline of Final Research Achievements

During child-rearing, DV perpetrators force mothers to take care of children, saying that’s the mother’s job. Those mothers are easily lulled into the idea that it’ll be their fault if child-rearing doesn’t go well. They face difficulty finding work and become self-reliant when raising children. Therefore, it can be assumed there is a structure that makes it hard for those mothers to realize just how unnatural it is to be in a violent relationship as well as the choice to run away for protection. The problems of DV do not just disappear after victims separate from perpetrators. The wounds are deep and victims continue to suffer physically and mentally from it. Furthermore, Support of Mothers and children who abused take long term and need corporate with many other professional which support mother and children.
