Domestic violence is a term that often conjures images of spouses or partners in abusive relationships, or even parents mistreating their children. But there's a side of domestic violence that remains shrouded in silence and stigma-a heartbreaking reality where the aggressors are not outsiders or partners, but one's own children.

This book is for the parents who live in fear within their own homes, who endure the heartbreak of seeing their beloved child transform into a source of pain and danger. It's for the mothers and fathers who feel ashamed, isolated, or judged, as if they are somehow to blame for the abuse they're experiencing. And it's for the families who wrestle with the emotional chaos of loving someone who has hurt them so deeply.

As a society, we rarely discuss this topic. There is an unspoken expectation that parents will have control over their children, that love and nurturing will naturally result in respect and harmony. But the truth is far more complex. Whether due to substance abuse, mental health issues, unresolved trauma, or other factors, children can sometimes lash out in ways that are both deeply personal and alarmingly violent.

I have witnessed this firsthand. The emotional scars, the physical danger, and the confusion that comes with being a victim of your child's anger are hard to describe. The weight of such an experience is crushing, leaving many parents asking themselves: Where did I go wrong? What could I have done differently? And how do I move forward?

In When Your Children Attack, we will explore this difficult and often overlooked topic with compassion, honesty, and a commitment to understanding. Through personal stories, expert insights, and practical advice, we will shine a light on what many parents endure in silence.

This book is not about assigning blame or pointing fingers. Instead, it is about breaking the silence, providing support, and offering a path forward for parents who are living through the unthinkable. It is a call for understanding, for resources, and for recognition that this too is a form of domestic violence-and one that must be addressed with the same urgency and care as any other.

To the parents reading this, I want you to know you are not alone. Your experiences, though painful, do not define you. You are still a loving parent, deserving of peace, respect, and safety. Let this book be a guide, a comfort, and a reminder that healing is possible-even in the most difficult circumstances.
