Dynamic of abuse
Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2017 9:40 am
Hi can someone please help me with this question? It came back not yet satisfactory.
e. Alyssa is a seven-year-old girl. Her mother is a very figure-conscious woman who was popular among the boys in her class during her younger years. Whenever Alyssa wants to eat sweets for snacks and dessert, her mother would often make comments like, “Don’t eat too much. You’ll get fat and not have a boyfriend when you’re older” or “Boys only like slim girls.” This scares Alyssa, and compels her not to eat sweets.
Is this a dynamic of abuse?
Yes or No
If yes, what is Alyssa’s mother abusing?
a) Alyssa’s age
b) Alyssa’s gender
c) Alyssa’s disability
d) Alyssa’s culture
e) Alyssa’s sexuality
I picked YES and a) Alyssa's age
But now i am not even sure if this is a dynamic of abuse.
Please help
Thank you
