Hiding behind a Twitter name to speak out about #ChildToParentViolenceAndAbuse | #AdolescentFamilyViolence. The issue is real. The support not-so-much.

Sadly,we never found the help we longed for. Our family unit hasn't recovered. We get up & (sometimes barely) make it through each day, but things are not the same. #CPAAwarenessDay

Son (18) charged with assaulting his gf. She's 16. Intervention order in place - he can't go within 100m. She contacted me to tell me. I told her it was not her fault. It was never her fault. Apparently, she's dropped the charges. I'm lost for words. #Familyviolence #cpv #dv

Ashamed, terrified, living minute by minute, pretending everything at home is ok. Why us? #CPAAWARENESSDAY
Parents say they don’t disclose their experiences of CAPVA because they’re ashamed, and many don’t report to the police because they’re scared of their children being criminalised: they only call the police when in crisis. #CPAAwarenessDay

It's another level when the DV perpetrator is your child #QandA

There needs to be more of this👇🏼. More open conversation about #ChildToParentViolence because it is happening & we (parents, siblings, teens) need help. #Familyviolence

..."everyday misery exacerbated by their maternal caring..." << this right here is my struggle. I'm still his mother, he is still my son. #apva #ChildToParentViolence

Filial abuse remains a largely hidden issue with no statistics to determine how prevalent it is.

"But it ONLY happens at home, right?" Passively stating the issues are at home, with us, the parents.

I long to say the words "our son's life has turned around". #batteredparent #difficultmothering #cpv #apva

- I'm trying to be a good mother. - I'm a co-dependent in the abusive relationship. - I'm enabling the behaviour by not saying "no". - I need to let go. #batteredparent #mypsychologistsays #cpv #apva #ChildToParentViolence

15+ harassment phone calls last night, I stopped answering. Abusive voice messages were left. If they were from anyone else, I'd file a complaint. He's my 17 year old son. When is it enough? #batteredparent #cpv #apva #familyabuse #AdolescentToParentViolenceAbuse

Another level today. Not only abused by teen, received harassment text messages from his "friend" saying we are shameful, disgusting & neglectful. In 2019 we had rocks thrown in our windows from his "friends". The unsafe feeling is back. #cpv #apva #ChildToParentViolence #toomuch

Today was a bad day. The 17 yo got punched in the face last night. He called first thing this morning saying he needed to see a Dr. I was there within 30mins. Two hours of emotional & psychological abuse. I was scared & anxious, my heart pounding. #ChildToParentViolence #apva

A positive in a world of darkness. Our daughter (14) has reignited her love of reading. She has read 10+ novels so far this year. She relishes the smell & feel when getting a new book. I think reading is her escape. #cpv @colleenhoover

I'm anxious, I can't sleep, my body is tense, my head hurts, my heart aches. As a parent, I don't think there is a time when you stop trying to help your children but I'm not sure how much I more I can take. #cpv #Familyviolence #MentalHealthMatters #apva

17 yold hasn't been living with us. He wants $800 to pay off a loan otherwise he will get bashed & end up in hospital. His phone & bag were "stolen" with illegal substances he was selling. The story is not consistent. Either way we'll regret our decision. #CPVA #parenting #help
