Why Does My Child(ren) Hate Me?
A Psychological Look at Children from Homes of Domestic Abuse
By Michael S. Freeman
They said leaving would make it better. That once the abuse stopped, your child would heal. That safety would be enough. But now the bruises are gone and the screaming has stopped-and your child is looking at you like you're the enemy.
This book is for every parent who escaped the violence but lost their child in the process.
Michael S. Freeman pulls back the curtain on what really happens to children raised in homes of domestic abuse. With a raw, compassionate voice and the lived experience of both a survivor and advocate, Freeman explains why trauma makes children lash out at the safe parent, why courts often get it wrong, and how the damage goes far deeper than anyone wants to admit.
You won't find sugarcoated advice or empty comfort here. What you will find is truth. Psychological clarity. First-hand accounts. A lifeline for parents who are walking through hell with no road map.
If you've ever asked yourself,
Why do they love the one who hurt us and hate the one who stayed?
this book is your answer.
You are not alone.
And your fight is not over.
