Those who experience domestic abuse in childhood have been recognised as directly impacted by these experiences. However, existing literature tends to focus on coping, resilience and outcomes, producing a picture that does not always capture other aspects of people's stories. There is a lack of qualitative research about developmental transitions to young adulthood and how that is experienced by those who grew up with domestic abuse.
This thesis explores the developmental transitions of young adult women who experienced domestic abuse in childhood. I interviewed women and used a voice- centred dialogical narrative analysis to explore their accounts. The analysis explores three narrative typologies that capture young women's stories. These are: transitions, recoveries, and battles. Instead of linear stories, women's transitions to young adulthood and their navigations of young adulthood consisted of ambiguities, multiplicities and contradictions. Stories of recoveries and transitions to young adulthood were not just shaped by individual biographies, relationships and histories, but they were also socially and culturally located. Women's stories were shaped by neoliberal and gendered discourses surrounding ideologies of normative childhood, family life and recovery from adversities or trauma, which can offer useful stories to tell but can also significantly constrain how young women articulate their stories.
