Being exposed to domestic abuse has serious consequences for children and young people, and it affects how they feel, think and behave in harmful ways. Living in a home where domestic abuse happens can have a serious impact on a child or young person’s mental and physical wellbeing, as well as their behaviour. 

This can continue after the adults' relationship has come to an end, and post-separation abuse and coercive controlling behaviours can continue to remain a factor in the child’s life. The impact of this can last into adulthood.
