Unfortunately, domestic violence leaves scars not only on the women but on the whole family. After every beating the perpetrator is losing his wife/girlfriend's love and trust. Women who face domestic violence tend to become depresses, scared, and anxious. The instability that women may be facing may result in inadequate parenting. Innocent children are not only suffering from lack of adequate parenting, but children sometimes witness domestic violence or may even experience the beating. This leads children to "suffer from insecure attachment styles and unsatisfying relationships" (Miller, p. 281). Children live a life in which positive relationships are difficult to establish. Miller also informs that "children who witness abuse in the home are also more aggressive themselves, suggesting that domestic violence contributes to cross-generational violence" (Miller, p. 281). If children are exposed to constant violence in the home, they may conclude that violence is acceptable. This deviant act may be viewed as a norm to children after constant exposure during childhood. Consequently, children may become bullies with their peers. Direct abuse and indirect (witnessing domestic abuse) scars children for life because they may become abusers in the future.
