What Lie Is Associated with Family Violence?

What causes domestic violence in some families, while most avoid this horrifying experience? For those subjected to this violence, one or more family members are unable to tolerate the pressure of daily life which consists of finances, childcare, the abuse of alcohol and drugs, and mental and emotional disorders within the family.

The lie associated with family violence is hostility, seen as the only way to manage strife and lack of control created by the inferiority feelings of the offender. Psychologist Alfred Adler concluded, “The greater the feelings of inferiority, the more violent the emotional confrontation.”

Shamelessly facing inferiority will help reduce home aggression. Change is possible by submitting to the power of God to provide courage to face the truth. 

The cleansing, healing power of Christ Jesus creates in the violent offender a new person made strong by God’s grace and truth.
