Scally explores children’s experiences of intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) in the home, and post-parental separation, as told by mothers. This chapter highlights the challenges children face when navigating abuse, and the implications of living with IPVA. Mothers share their thoughts and perceptions of their children’s feelings about contact, including positive narratives, and the impact of contact on their children. The impact of trauma on children is a key consideration, alongside the impact of IPVA on parenting. For example, the chapter discusses the research on abusive fathers’ parenting capacity, the impact on the mother-child relationship, and the continuation of abuse through child contact post-separation. The chapter works towards goals 5 (gender equality) and 16 (peace, justice, and strong institutions) of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
