Ako je u vašoj porodici prisutno nasilje, to će zasigurno negativno uticati na vaše roditeljstvo i vaše odnose sa decom. Porodično nasilje između roditelja je traumatično za decu čak i ako ga ne vide, ne čuju i ne doživljavaju direktno. Osoba koja vrši nasilje u porodici je odgovorna za nasilje i njegove posledice na decu i porodične odnose. Porodicama koje doživljavaju nasilje potrebna je podrška. Ukoliko je u vašoj porodici prisutno nasilje, za početak, razgovarajte sa nekim kome verujete. To može biti prijatelj/prijateljica, član porodice, vaš izabrani lekar, drugi stručnjaci u ovoj oblasti (psihijatar, psihoterapeut), aktivisti organizacija civilnog društva koje pružaju podršku i zaštiti osobama koje trpe porodično nasilje.
