Domestic Violence: The Impact of Abuse and the Systemic Failure of Survivors, (Paperback)

When "Home" Becomes a War Zone<br>We think of home as a sanctuary, but for those living with an abuser, it is a mental cage under constant surveillance. In Domestic Violence: An Examination of Control, Biology, and Systemic Failure of Domestic Violence Survivors, Peggy Escobedo, LMHC, NCC, CCTP-II, NATC, pulls off the blinders too many systems choose to wear. Domestic violence is far more than a "marital spat"; it is a physical and psychological attack that robs the survivor of their agency and health. This book explores how chronic stress rewires the survivor's brain and leaves children as developmental hostages, to the after effects of witnessing abuse. Beyond the front door, survivors face secondary, betrayal: Institutional Betrayal. From medical staff who miss behavioral cues to a legal system that rewards an abuser's performance while punishing a survivor's trauma, the safety net is a tattered tapestry held together by loose threads.
