In recent years there has been an increase in awareness about domestic violence. With this new awareness have come concerns about the children who witness violence between their parents or intimate caregivers and how it will affect them in adulthood. Several research studies have documented the negative effects on individuals who witness domestic violence. These negative effects include depression, post traumatic stress syndrome, behavior problems in childhood, and increased risk for becoming a perpetrator or victim of abuse in their adult relationships. While there are numerous studies on the effects to children and some studies of adults who witnessed domestic violence as children, the majority of the studies have been quantitative in nature. This study used a qualitative, phenomenological approach to gain more in-depth information about the phenomenon of witnessing domestic violence from the adults who experienced it as children. The study sample consisted of 8 females and 2 males between the ages of 25-62. Two participants were Caucasian, 7 were African American and one was Mexican/Caucasian. Two interviews were conducted with each participant about their childhood memories, their adult relationships and their mental health. Several themes emerged including, (1) reports of aggression toward men, (2) abusive relationships in adulthood, (3) perceptions about their mother's role in the violence, (4) current healthy relationships (5) some mental health problems, (6) how they healed from their experiences. This study provided a closer look at what these participants experienced and how it impacted their lives. Results indicated that even though several of the participants went through difficult periods in their early adulthood, the majority of the participants came to a place of healing. They renewed relationships with their parents and came to terms with the past. The youngest participant continued to struggle the most. All of the participants felt rewarded by taking part in the study and offered their perceptions about why domestic violence happens. The results were compared to the existing literature, research, clinical and policy implications were discussed, and limitations of the study were identified. Personal reflections of the researcher were also included.
