The child’s right and her relationship with the father are here treated as abstract categories used in a rhetorical way to convince the mother. The professional is not referring to the specific relationship between the child and the father, which would make it obvious that the child has been hesitating and talking about her fear. The extract also shows how the mother becomes the one who has to take responsibility for the safe arrangement of the contacts. She has to reflect on the different choices and present them to the father.
The safety of the mother is also seen to form the basis of a safe environment for the children. This talk on motherhood has close connections with feminist interpretations of the situation of abused women and their children. Within the feminist refuge movement, this work has been oriented towards women and children, although, in the early phase, the work with children tended to be given a lower status than the work with women (Hague et al, 2000, p 114). The feminist strands in the talk of shared interests between mothers and children sometimes make it difficult for professionals to draw upon this rhetoric.
Hannele Forsberg (1995, pp 137-8), in her research on Finnish social 43 Tackling men’s violence in families workers, has noted that the active ‘new’ fatherhood is a construction that is usually spoken about in the conditional. It appears in professional speech and practices as aims or wishes of what fathers should be like, whereas the concrete everyday caring is left to mothers. When these kind of discursive resources are drawn on in connection with men who have used violence, I have called it a ‘fatherhood of possibilities’.
