**TRIGGER WARNING, please take care as some of the content below can be upsetting**

Child to parent abuse (CPA) remains one of the most difficult and least spoken about forms of domestic abuse. It’s a form that carries emotional weight, stigma, and for many families - silence. That’s why recent coverage by both ITV and Sky News has been so important.

The stories shared by these platforms are raw and heartbreaking. Both ITV and Sky highlighted the lived experiences of parents anonymously.

It’s encouraging to see national broadcasters giving space to raise awareness on Child to Parent abuse. Coverage like this validates what many parents are experiencing behind closed doors and may help others feel less alone. It gives language to something that’s often shrouded in guilt and shame, and it opens the door to more honest conversations and access to support.

But alongside this progress is sadness. It’s heartbreaking that so many families are living in fear, unsure where to turn, and battling assumptions that prevent them from seeking help or support. These stories aren’t just “news”, they’re the lived experiences of real individuals who need empathy, understanding, and resources.

We hope that the awareness raised by Sky and ITV leads to a time where parents can speak out without fear of judgment, and where support systems become more accessible and compassionate for those experiencing CPA.
