7. 7 From Harm to Home | Rescue.org Why Healing Families in Emergencies? “Because we are in a state of psychological distress, we beat our children. Before we didn’t, but now we do.” ---Quotation from focus group discussion with Syrian refugee mothers. “My son was asking repeatedly for something that I couldn’t give him. I was very frustrated, I lost my job, I have no money, and I cannot help my family. So I started beating my son again and again. It’s like I wanted to kill him. I finally crushed him on the floor. Now he is sick, he is still in bed. It’s like he has some brain damage.” --- Quotation from focus group discussion with Syrian refugee fathers.
