The physical effects of domestic violence on children, different than the effects of direct abuse, can start when they are fetus in their mother's womb, can result in low infant birth weights, premature birth, excessive bleeding, and fetal death, due to the mother's physical trauma and emotional stress.
It can happen in opposite-sex and same-sex relationships and can happen to intimate partners who are married, living together, dating or somehow estranged. A person does not have to be married to be experiencing domestic violence. Domestic violence also has a substantial effect on family members, especially children. Each child is unique and may respond differently to the abuse, but there are common short and long-term effects that can impact a childâs day-to-day functioning.
