By acknowledging the existence of dysfunctional families and seeking constructive solutions, we can work to build a more inclusive and supportive society where all families have the opportunity to seek help and healing. Only then can we create a healthier and more equitable environment for all members of our society. Our society, many times, tends to ignore dysfunctional families, a deep-rooted issue that affects numerous lives. While many aspects of our culture focus on the idealized image of a happy and functional family, it is important to recognize that reality is much more complex. This is an account of realities that happen within homes, where refuge should be found, but ironically becomes the epicenter of suffering and terror. Gender violence is a disguised enemy within family walls, tearing lives apart and robbing hope. This is the territory where love turns into hatred, trust becomes fear, and protection becomes aggression. It is a shadowy realm where gender violence raises its abominable veil over victims, leaving invisible and visible scars that endure for generations.
