[The Applicant] says that the RPD [Refugee Protection Division] made an assumption that all children of abused women seek their mothers out when they have left the home.... The children of an abused woman might feel ambivalence to their mother for a number of reasons, including the influence of the abusive parent, their feelings of being abandoned or unprotected, or uncertainty about whether they should seek out the abused parent. 2, record 1, English, - abused%20parent

[La demanderesse] affirme que la SPR [Section de la protection des réfugiés] a présumé que tous les enfants de femmes battues se lançaient à la recherche de leur mère lorsqu'elle quittait le domicile. [...] Les enfants d'une femme battue peuvent avoir des sentiments ambivalents à l'égard de leur mère pour un certain nombre de raisons, qui tiennent notamment à l'influence du parent violent, à leur impression d'être abandonnés ou laissés sans protection, ou au fait de ne pas être certains de devoir rechercher le parent maltraité. 4, record 1, French, - parent%20maltrait%C3%A9

parent victime de violence : Bien que certains auteurs affirment que les sens des termes «parent victime de maltraitance» et «parent victime de violence» diffèrent, car la «maltraitance» est un schéma de comportement adopté dans le but de contrôler, tandis que la «violence» peut être ponctuelle, ces termes sont le plus souvent employés de façon interchangeable. 5, record 1, French, - parent%20maltrait%C3%A9

violent parent: Although some authors would argue that the meanings of the terms "abusive parent" and "violent parent" differ, because "abuse" means a pattern of behaviour intended to exercise control, whereas "violence" can be punctual in nature, the two terms are mostly used interchangeably. 4, record 2, English, - abusive%20parent

Long Distance Caregiving. In today's society, it has become fairly common for grown children to leave home to pursue different lifestyles and work opportunities. It's also becoming more common for parents to move.... As a result of all this movement, a growing number of adult sons and daughters are discovering just how hard it is to try to ensure the welfare of aging parents who live hundreds, sometimes thousands, of miles away. A quick-fix solution to this problem of distant caregiving might seem to be to have the parents relocate, to bring them nearer to the grown children and their families, perhaps even to have them move in with them. 2, record 4, English, - long%2Ddistance%20caregiving

Les soins à distance. Au-delà des kilomètres, prendre soin de parents âgés. De nos jours, il arrive souvent que les membres de la famille habitent à des centaines de kilomètres l'un de l'autre. Et, tandis que la famille s'éparpille toujours un peu plus, de nombreux enfants adultes sont confrontés à une dure réalité : comment dispenser des soins à distance à des parents âgés? Pour ces familles, la distance qui existe entre l'enfant adulte et ses parents âgés peut présenter des difficultés très particulières en matière de soins. Les personnes qui dispensent des soins à distance sont confrontées aux mêmes préoccupations émotionnelles et financières que celles qui le font dans leur voisinage, sauf qu'elles éprouvent en plus de la culpabilité et de l'anxiété du fait qu'elles ne peuvent être auprès des êtres chers. Cependant, les soins à distance peuvent être efficaces : il suffit de planifier et de ne rien laisser à l'improvisation. 1, record 4, French, - soins%20%C3%A0%20distance
