Group 3

Different Coping
Mechanisms of Grade 11
Students Towards a
Broken Home
What is a Broken Family?

▪ A dysfunctional family is a family in which conflict,

misbehavior, and often child neglect or abuse on the part of
individual parents occur continuously and regularly, leading
other members to accommodate such actions.
▪ Dysfunctional families are primarily a result of two adults,
one typically overtly abusive and the other codependent,
and may also be affected by substance abuse or other
forms of addiction, or sometimes by an untreated mental
illness.
What Causes
Estrangement Between
Family Members?
While every relationship is unique, Anderson explained some common
causes of estrangement among family members :
Abuse

▪ Abuse is the improper usage or treatment of a thing’ often

to unfairly or improperly gain benefit. Abuse can come in
many forms, such as: physical or verbal maltreatment,
injury, assault, violation, rape, unjust practices, crimes, or
other types of aggression.

Emotional and Psychological abuse can have severe
short and long – term effects. This type of abuse can
affect both your physical and mental health. You may
experience feelings of confusion, anxiety, shame,
guilt, frequent crying, over – compliance,
powerlessness, and more.
Mental Health Issues

▪ Mental illness, also called mental health disorders, refer to

a wide range of mental conditions – disorders that affect
your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental
illness include depression, anxiety disorders, and eating
disorders.
▪ Many people have mental health concerns from time to
time. But a mental health concern becomes a mental illness
when ongoing signs and symptoms cause frequent stress
and affect your ability to function.
Anxiety

▪ Anxiety is not the same as fear, but they are often used
interchangeably. Anxiety is considered a future-oriented,
long-acting response broadly focused on a diffuse threat,
whereas fear is an appropriate, present-oriented, and
short-lived response to a clearly identifiable and specific
threat.
Depression

▪ Depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent

feelings of sadness, emptiness, and loss of joy. It is
different from the mood fluctuations that people regularly
experience as a part of life.
▪ Major life events, such as bereavement or the loss of a job,
can trigger Trusted Source depression. But depression is
distinct from the negative feelings a person may
temporarily have in response to a difficult life event.
Eating Disorders

▪ Eating disorder are a type of serious mental health

condition characterized by severe disturbances in eating
behaviors and related thoughts and emotions. Typically,
people with ED develop an unhealthy preoccupation with
food and body size, weight or shape.
Financial Hardships

▪ Economic hardships and financial distress can have

devastating effects on families. In tough economic times,
many families lose their jobs, homes, cars, retirement
accounts, belongings, savings, health insurance, and more.
Families often struggle just to meet their basic needs.
Differing Beliefs

▪ Differing beliefs affects families especially if it’s on Politics

and Religion, It’s because, almost always, the discussion
will end up in this scenario: You win a point but lose a family
member or a friend in the process. Since both politics and
religion are rooted in our personal beliefs, we tend to be
quite passionate and stubborn in asserting or defending
them. We believe that our views/opinions are the right ones
and so does the other party. Each side wants to prove and
win a point. Ending… families or friendships are broken.
Boundary Crossing

▪ Every person has boundaries. When these are firmly

established and a relative continues to cross it or threatens to
cross it, estrangement can occur.
▪ A boundary crossing is typically defined as an acceptable,
perhaps inevitable, or unavoidable dual relationship. For
example, you may live in a small or rural community where it is
inevitable that you are going to encounter clients in the
community outside of the professional context, that is a
boundary crossing. It is not inherently unethical, it is just a fact
to life, and it requires skillful management of those boundary
issues.
Overly Controlling Parents or
Parental Figures

▪ Controlling parenting – otherwise known as authoritarian

parenting – is a style of parenting in which one (sometimes
both) parents keep close tabs on their children’s lives, over-
involving themselves where they can. Parents like this tend
to be overly focused on their own needs rather than the
needs of the child.
▪ Controlling parents are nonresponsive to their children’s
emotional and psychological needs. They constrain,
invalidate, and manipulate. They also stifle the
independent expression of emotions.
Refusal to Apologize

▪ Family dispute can cause trouble at varying levels, the

largest being estrangement. This is fairly common with
actions that one relative considers wrong, while the other
refuses to apologize or even acknowledge the wrong
doing.
▪ If you or your loved one are refusing to apologize, it’s
especially important to make sure you understand the
others person’s motive. If you feel that everyone’s
reasoning has been considered and there’s still a refusal to
apologize, this can cause a major rift.

adolescents in CCI, by how they deal with the
complicated situation within their homes.

or lessen the effects of the complicated situations within

cope is through expressing themselves through art like

of the participants do or did, followed by academic
achievements and reading books at 60% then shopping at
50%.
▪ In conclusion, the majority of the respondents are students
