Abstract
Domestic abuse is often viewed as an individual matter, affecting only those in the abusive relationship. Research suggests domestic abuse has a radiating effect on others in the victim’s social network. In attempt to fill a gap in the literature this research explored the impact of domestic abuse upon family members. Three semi-structured interviews were carried out and these were transcribed and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The analysis suggests domestic abuse has negative repercussions for family members; physical and psychological. Furthermore, the analysis revealed several factors that contribute to the radiating effect including adhering to myths, attributing blame and ‘Othering’ the victim. Understanding of the radiating effect may be further advanced by exploring these contributing factors. This research therefore lends support to the radiating effect and demonstrates the need for further investigations.
