A Guide to Knowing If Your Relationship Can - And Should - Be Saved

Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

„A ​feleségén tényleg uralkodik, de a gyerekeket nem bántja. Azok észre sem veszik, mi zajlik otthon.” Ilyen és hasonló kijelentéseket gyakran hall a bántalmazott nő, és elbizonytalanodik, vajon csak ő látja a változást gyerekein? Érzi, hogy a gyerekekkel való kapcsolata romlik, mert a bántalmazó módszeresen aláássa a szülői tekintélyét. Nincs hova fordulnia segítségért, mert a környezete meg van győződve róla, hogy túlaggodalmaskodja a dolgot. A változás sem egyértelmű: az egyik gyereknek dühkitörései vannak, és az apjához húz, míg a másik egyre jobban begubódzik, és túlteljesít az iskolában. Nehéz tetten érni és szavakba foglalni, hogyan hat a gyerekekre, ha olyan családban nőnek fel, ahol tanúi anyjuk bántalmazásának. Ebben segít Lundy Bancroft könyve, mely szól mindazoknak, akik szeretnék tudni, hogyan fest a partnerbántalmazás gyerekszemmel, hogyan illeszkedik a gyerekekkel való kapcsolat a bántalmazó gondolkodásmódba, és milyen szülő a bántalmazó férfi. A nagy sikerű Mi jár a bántalmazó fejében? című önsegítő könyv szerzője most a bántalmazott anyákat szólítja meg. A tőle megszokott megértéssel és elfogadással, gördülékeny stílusban segíti olvasóját, hogy az képes legyen felismerni a párkapcsolati erőszak gyerekekre gyakorolt hatását, megtanulja megvédeni őket, elősegíteni a gyógyulásukat, valamint visszaállítani és megőrizni a család egészséges működését. A gyakorlati tanácsokkal teli önsegítő könyv kitér arra is, hogyan tárgyaljon a bántalmazott anya a gyermekvédelemmel és hogyan igazodjon el a bíróságon. Lundy Bancroft a családon belüli és a párkapcsolati erőszak szakértője, számos önsegítő könyv szerzője. Terapeutaként évtizedeken át vezetett csoportot bántalmazó férfiaknak, és behatóan foglalkozott a családon belüli erőszak gyerekekre gyakorolt hatásával. Az Apa bántja anyát a szerző második kötete, amely a Gabo Kiadó és a NANE Egyesület közös gondozásában jelenik meg. A Mi jár a bántalmazó fejében? (Gabo – NANE, 2022) olvasói ezt az önsegítő könyvet is nagy haszonnal forgathatják.

Apa bántja anyát

Written by a therapist who specializes in abusive men, this guide reveals how abusers interact with and manipulate children—and how mothers can help their children recover from the trauma of witnessing abuse. Can my partner abuse me and still be a good parent? Should I stay with my partner for my children's sake? How should I talk to my children about the abuse and help them heal? Am I a bad mother? Mothers in physically or emotionally abusive relationships ask themselves these questions every day. Whether it’s physical or “just” emotional abuse, whether it’s aimed at them or you, whether they see or hear it, your kids need you. This book, the first ever of its kind, shows mothers how to: • Protect children and help them heal emotionally • Provide love, support, and positive role models, even in the midst of abuse • Increase their chances of winning custody • Help their kids feel good about themselves “A must-read for every mother who has been abused...it offers the knowledge women need to protect their children and help them heal.”—William S. Pollack, Ph.D., author of the national bestseller Real Boys

Discusses the effects of spousal abuse on children, explains how the abusive partner distorts familial relationships, and offers advice for helping youngsters overcome the trauma of the abuse that they witnessed.

A mother and daughter disappear in the midst of a custody dispute, leaving behind indications that they left on purpose -- and that they didn't. A young journalism intern, Carrie Green, gets caught up in trying to find out what's happened to them. She astounds her editor by developing a rapport with the father of the missing girl even though no one else can stand him. Then she and her boyfriend infiltrate two opposing illegal networks, both of which seem to be connected to the case. And suddenly it starts to dawn on the young reporter that she's been believing all the wrong people...
