From the Paper:

"The emotional environment of the family is critical to a growing child and their development, so a supportive, non-abusive parent reacting in a positive manner towards a child, will help not only the child get through the abusive situation and feelings of anxiety, depression and guilt; but in the case of physical spousal abuse, could give the supportive parent incentive to remove them both from the situation. When that occurs, it is important that the community and society in general are able to provide them with the resources and support in order to regain their lives."
