Is a physically violent man a good role model for a child?
Aggressive people of any sex are NOT a positive role model for a child, their reaction to this could be either of 2 extremes to adopt the abusive role model and follow it themselves (we become our parents). OR to reject the model and do the opposite by becoming very quiet introverted and gentle but fearful people. (we become the opposite of out parents) in either case such behaviour would result in the child needing counselling therapy as an adult to allow them to develop as a person and enjoy their future an relationships. the abusive role is not always a male one and as many women are abusive to their partners as the other way round its just this does not get any attention. The real issue is to have zero tolerance of any abusive behaviour from either parent either between themselves or to their children.
