3.9: Child to Parent Abuse
Something seldom talked out is when a parent faces abuse at the hands of their child. In this episode, I talk to Michelle John, founder of PEGS about how many parents have relationships with their children where abuse is present. We talk about the lack of media reporting on child on parent abuse and also the humiliation and shame that many parents feel if they are victims. We also discuss the types of abuse that parents face as well as what they can do to find help.
