Research Protocol
In terms of the research ethics, the respondents will be assured of their anonymity through verbal and written means. Before the start of the interview, the author will present to them a letter assuring them that all the information that they will be disclosing will solely be used for academic purposes. They will also be asked to choose a name or alias that will instead be used in citing them during the data presentation.
VI. Conclusion
The increasing rate of people experiencing domestic violence, particularly child abuse, has been particularly alarming. Hence, this proposal aims to further analyze the family dynamics that involve the reversal of the supposedly nurturing function of the family. Literature has shown that domestic violence is a multi-faced concept which can take on different forms. This work tackled the definition of domestic violence as well as the many different forms it can take on. We have also seen the effects of domestic violence to women and children. To make this work more manageable, the author has decided to focus on one particular aspect of domestic violence, i.e. childhood abuse. After providing a glimpse of childhood abuse, it has been hypothesized that a radical transformation of the abused person's concept of family has taken place. Moreover, feelings of anger and resentment still linger even after a long time has already passed. It is also hypothesized that childhood abuse has significant effects on the person. The author proposes to test these hypotheses via a vivid understanding, exploration, and thorough discussion of this rather sensitive experience through the technique of in-depth interviewing.

Domestic violence has been around for as long as many cultures can remember, however, that's not an excuse for its continuance. Although some see women and children as mere property, their rights and safety should be protected. Whether they suffer from physical, sexual or emotional abuse, thankfully there are an increasing number of programs for these victims to turn to. These programs work hard to take the steps necessary for
Domestic violence is often overlooked or simplified. People assume children who become exposed to domestic violence only exhibit negative symptoms. Just a couple of decades ago, few had any idea of the impact domestic violence had and continues to have on a child. From growing up and dealing with the pain and/or stigma, to lesser social skills and bad coping mechanisms, the effects of domestic violence on children are clearly
21). Source 3 Sternberg et al. (1993) is a secondary research source that described the effects of domestic violence on children's behavior. This source of information on the topic of domestic abuse is more expansive than the previous two sources discussed. Here the impacts of domestic violence are realized through the children of domestic violence victims. As this article also expands the idea of domestic violence, it also ignores those victims of

Angela's case study illuminates several aspects of domestic violence. The case shows how domestic violence progresses from what was originally a normal relationship, through stages of escalating violence. Each section shows how persons outside the family might have the opportunity to intervene or offer support. What was most interesting about this case was the different legal obligations of health care workers, educators, and colleagues. Not all people are obliged to
