Children Witnessing DV and Psychological Splitting
Psychological splitting is a term describing the child's response to witnessing domestic violence in their home between mother and father. The child's psychological response is to take a side, either with the victim role or the perpetrator role. These two roles influence a myriad of decisions that culminate into choosing a partner that completes the cycle. If the child has chosen a victim role the, he or she will seek out and find an abusive person to abuse them. If the child had chosen a perpetrator role, he or she will seek out and find a victim to abuse.
