- Domestic violence and emotional regulation : a qualitative study on intergenerational transmission among parents supported by family servicesPublication . Livet, Chrislène Camille; Reis, Marta SofiaChildhood exposure to intrafamilial violence is associated with long-term emotional and relational difficulties, including challenges in emotion regulation and parenting. Numerous quantitative studies have documented these associations but less is known about how parents subjectively experience and make sense of these processes, particularly within social and medico-social service contexts. This qualitative study explores how parents supported by family services, who experienced intrafamilial violence during childhood, perceive and regulate their emotions and how they support their children’s emotional experiences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants, five women and one man, recruited from two Maisons des Solidarités et de la Vie Sociale in Eastern France. A reflexive thematic analysis identified five interconnected themes: (1) childhood intrafamilial violence through an emotional and relational climate; (2) emotional suppression, hypercontrol and emotional overflow; (3) parenting between vulnerability, repair and transmission; (4) parentification and emotional hyper-responsibility; and (5) intergenerational transmission, reflexive awareness and rupture. The findings suggest that emotional suppression, hypercontrol and hyper-responsibility often developed as adaptive responses to emotionally unsafe family environments. These strategies continued to influence participants’ relationships and parenting experiences in adulthood. At the same time, participants showed important capacities for reflection and intentional change, especially through their wish to offer their children different emotional experiences. By focusing on parent’s narratives, this study contribute to a better understanding of how childhood intrafamilial violence may shape emotional regulation, parenting and intergenerational transmission. It also highlights the clinical relevance of trauma-informed and emotion-focused interventions within family support services.
