Who is to blame?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to understand that child abuse is never your fault. Most parents don\u2019t really want to cause their children any pain or suffering. But sometimes, things go wrong. If your parents get divorced and argue a lot, or if there is violence at your home, you can be affected too.<\/p>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is not okay!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On our pages about domestic violence<\/a>, you will find more information about the different forms of domestic violence and child abuse. This varies, for example, from physical abuse and neglect to psychological violence. If violence in your family happens often, or if your parents argue a lot with each other, you can be affected by this. None of these forms of violence are okay. If you are affected by this, we would really like to help you make things better for you again. No matter how difficult you think this may be. You\u2019re not alone!<\/p>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What if you use violence yourself?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even young persons like yourself can cross a certain border. For example, if you are violent towards your parents or step-parents or guardians. This is also known as child-parent abuse. Talking about it is a good thing, even if you\u2019re the abuser, because the violence doesn\u2019t stop by itself and it is important that you and your family receive help.<\/p>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
