[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

In spite of the lack of public attention abused parents have received, adolescent-to-parent violence has features that are common to all forms of family violence. Control and domination are central to domestic violence ... and is a preeminent concern of all parents whose youth use violence against them. Adolescents who use violence at home perceive their parents as weak and ineffective and perceive themselves as lacking power ... Adolescents use violence and abuse to take power away from their parents and to control decision making in their families. 2, record 2, English, - abused%20parent
