- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to explore how women, during the process of leaving an intimate violent partner, experienced having children and contact with people outside of the relationship became a hindrance.

In analyzing our results, we applied Holmberg and Enanders (2005) leavingprocess to acknowledge the process of leaving the relationship as something more than just physically leaving the perpetrator. This study found that children can be used by the perpetrators as means to exercise power over the women which can make it hard for them to leave the relationship. In examples of shared custody over the children the women are forced to keep in contact with the perpetrator and make it harder for her to start anew after a physical separation. Regarding the women’s surroundings this study found that both the kind of support, and when the support was received, was important regarding the outcome. Early in the relationship well-meant support could have the opposite effects than intended. The women’s friends and family could also be used by the perpetrators to affect and control the women after a separation. This study also found professionals’ definitions of the relationship to be important as it could take interpretive precedence over the women’s own definitions. (Less)
