Survivor of Vicarious violence.. Life is a Story - story.one

What is Vicarious Violence? Term coined by Sonia Vaccaro. Kind of gender-based violence that manipulates women by abusing their children, who are the most precious thing to them. Thus, the abuser seeks to maintain control, isolating, defaming, humiliating, maliciously causing pain and guilt to the woman, tormenting her psychologically, emotionally, financially, depriving her of her autonomy, not directly but by substituting them with the children. It logically has negative effects on children physically, mentally, emotionally. But since it leaves no marks on the body, the penal codes of countries, even here in the "First World," lacks classification of it as a "crime or criminal offense," and therefore it is not penalized. Until when?! Women, mothers, children deserve protection, even if the authorities, judges, and the State itself deny it and turn a blind eye.
