The school holidays can be great, there’s no homework to
complete for parents to check, July and August should bring blue skies and hot
weather, plus there is the ability to sleep as late as you like. For both
parents and children, the summer holidays can be heaven.
It’s no surprise that the police report the number of calls
drop during the summer months. This must indicate that families are truly happy
when they are together, right?
Sadly, for either a parent or child experiencing domestic
abuse, factors such as extra time spent together can often make it difficult
for people to seek help, or even escape. The increased time of being in an
unstable household can lead to multiple feelings of fear and isolation, with a
greater chance of experiencing violence and abuse.
For a parent, the added responsibility of keeping children
entertained over the six weeks can add tremendous pressure, especially with a
rise in temperature.
