In this article, Cosima Marriner dicusses how women in abusive relationships struggle to parent effectively as their partner tries to control and undermine their bond with their children. Abusive men will attempt to undermine their partner's capacity to parent and deprive them of a relationship with their children. Children are often used as pawns in domestic violence situations.

This can result is some abused women being labelled as "bad mothers".
