@jvande_mft @VstateMFT i agree. Unfortunately research has not broken down DV and it's affects according to gender

[Eveny @Evraye]

Are children equally affected if the father is the victim of DV with the mother being the batterer? @VstateMFT #vstatemft

@ericacvelazquez @VstateMFT I think it is rape simply BC sex is meant to be a consensual act between two people. Marriage doesn't = consent

[Eveny @Evraye]

@PeggyHarless @VstateMFT i think it happens but not in every case. Most of them vow not to treat their kids as they were treated by parents

@anoceanaway10 @VstateMFT I wonder if they are illegally or not. If that is an issue, the may not report DV due to fear of deportation

[Eveny @Evraye]

@NdyeMFT @VstateMFT i would remind the of healthy relationships such as their parents and point out the difference in communication.

@jvande_mft @VstateMFT I would say 1st responders are the gatekeepers. Police have a legal responsibility to protect victims.

[Eveny @Evraye]

@kiaraivory @VstateMFT It's easy to say the batterer is at fault but in most cases they have also been a victim of DV by seeing it as a kid.

@MrPacek @ElloryBishop @jnyingling @VstateMFT 100% agree. All first responders could definitely benefit from more training.
