Using grounded theory we generated four themes: Commonalities and contradictions in the experience of abuse; living with abuse; the response of systems reinforced or challenged the abuse and dealing with abuse beyond the relationship.

In the book, “Loving Your Child to Much”, it explains that emotional intelligence is attained by “…teaching children how to deal with anger, disappointment, fear, excitement, and the other emotions we all experience in life” (Clinton & Sibcy, 2006, p170).
