Abuse of children by their parents is very common in today's society. Did you know that ABUSE OF PARENTS BY THEIR CHILDREN is ALSO common? How common? Very common BUT under reported and under researched. Parents are often subjects of a child's aggression. Parents have to deal with yelling, screaming, and other aggressive outburst from a child which usually is some form of physical and/or verbal abuse. Parents may feel somewhat ashamed and humiliated, especially if this is done in public, so they rarely seek little or no help if it gets out of hand.
TEENAGE ABUSE towards their parents and even their grandparents is a problem in the United States as well as globally. It is rarely talked about or reported. Why? It is rarely talked about or reported because most family abuse is basically hidden from the public's view until the law and/or other authorities have to be called. This subject is taboo. Why? This subject is taboo because parents feel that they should be able to handle their own children and because they do not want to feel ashamed. Many parents feel that they should be able to handle the situation alone, by themselves without getting others involved. They may also feel that it is not safe for them to attempt to control the situation for fear it might make matters worse and enrage the child more. Any form of abuse is harmful to the victim as well as the abuser and may lead to more serious consequences if it is ignored. There should be an identifying and admitting that there is a problem, this is the first step to attempt to resolve the behavior. There are many types of parental abuse. A child may abuse the parent in one of the five ways or in a combination of ways. There is physical abuse, verbal abuse, psychological abuse, emotional abuse and financial abuse.
Some people may say that parent abuse is a result of bad parenting, neglecting their children, or because of child abuse. This may not be true. Many children have a normal and healthy upbringing and have not suffered form abusive situations. Children may see violence on TV, in the movies, listen to violent music. This may be something that is considered "normal". The breakdown of the family unit, poor or nonexistent relationships with an absent parent, as well as, debt, unemployment, and parental drug/alcohol abuse may all be contributing factors to abuse. Some other reasons for parental abuse according to several experts are: (1) out of control arguments (2) aggressive behavior (3) frustration because they can not deal with problems (4) being a witness of abuse, whether at home or elsewhere (5) lack of respect for their parents because they see a weakness (6) fear itself (7) no accountability for bad behavior (8) drugs and alcohol (9) gang affiliation (10) not having the proper role model (11) not being able to deal with mental or disabled parents (12) mental illness (13) revenge or punishment for something the parents did or did not do.
DID YOU KNOW that the highest rate of abuse happens within families with a single mother? Mothers are usually the primary caregiver; they spend more time with their children than fathers and have closer emotional connections to them. It can also be due to the size and strength of the abuser and women are often thought of as weaker and even powerless. Parental abuse can occur in any family and is not associated with ethnic background, socio-economic class, or sexual orientation. Numerous studies concluded that gender does not play a role in the total number of perpetrators; however, males are more likely to inflict physical abuse and females are more likely to inflict emotional abuse.

You must put a stop to the abuse! If you are suffering from Parent Abuse you must recognize that you are not at fault and do not deserve this, as with any form of abuse.
