Never been in an abusive relationship but worked for awhile for a domestic relations lawyer. Women would come in straight from the hospital where they had to go because their husbands beat them up. All the paperwork was done and they cancelled because he said he was sorry and it wouldn't happen again. I guess they truly want to believe that. We had several cases like that. To me, if I was beat up bad enough to go to the hospital, I would figure that next time he would kill me. So hopefully if you know of anyone in that situation, tell them to get out of and never look back. I know, I know. Many women stay because of the kids, money, etc. but the kids must suffer to see this and there's always a place to go if necessary. If not with family, then a shelter until you can get back on your feet.

I've always wondered the same thing but I've come to understand that women are either too afraid to leave or confuse the abuse with love. Abusive relationships aren't always just physically abusive, they are also verbally, and emotionally abusive. If you lived with someone who told you everyday that you were ugly and no one else would ever want you then you will eventually begin to lose all self-worth.

I haven't been in one, but it seems to me that the person getting abused usually has low self esteem and allows the one doing the abusing to control them. It may also be that the person getting abused feels they can eventually change that person, or there is even a small percentage that believes they're getting abused because that person loves them.

i have been in an abusive relationship. i have since gotten a divorce. my ex was physically, emotionally, mentally and financially abusive. there were many reasons i stayed. i was afraid, he caused me to have no self-confidence. i felt like i couldn't make it on my own. he was my first love. even though i knew i could get out of it i didn't feel like i could trust anybody. i was afraid it would all go back to him. he was controlling. every situation is different for every woman with the same basic concept(abuse). every woman has their own reasons for not leaving. it is harder if children r involved

between the terrific fears of a individual in this way of situation isn't being believed. they are advised lower back and lower back via the abuser, " i can try this via fact all and sundry is often used with me and likes me and you're no longer something, you're under no longer something, all and sundry will think of you're mendacity and in basic terms being a b*tch". it rather is a message which will become internalized for the sufferer and that they end thinking the actuality of it. It in basic terms IS. yet another tactic of the abuser is to make the sufferer question their very own sanity. What befell did no longer take place, you're out of your innovations, I in basic terms pushed you, I particularly touched you, all and sundry is often used with you're nuts. at the same time as the sufferer is bodily loose to go approximately and do extensive-unfold issues (although they may be limited in the place they are allowed to pass) interior they are rather effectively paralyzed via worry and self doubt. there is not any would desire to maintain a individual shackled in case you could imprison them of their very own innovations. in case you could keep them based, remoted, nervous, doubting themselves and extremely importantly, loving you, you haven't any would desire to impose actual bonds. the exterior international aids the abuser in many procedures. the guy being abused is often used with that it rather is not how issues are meant to be, that it rather is atypical, that others will question their options, their existence, their fact and a few outsiders would additionally pass so some distance as to belittle or ridicule them. So, shame from "well-known" society facilitates keep victims silent. ****The above passage is from my Pulse blog and applies whether there is actual abuse or no longer. you may desire to understand that ladies human beings in this situation do no longer choose to stay, they often sense they have no different selection. the actuality which you do no longer understand any of it factors up the actuality which you haven't any longer lived with abuse, and that's huge, yet human beings do would desire to aim and understand the way this works instead of in basic terms condemn the girl and anticipate that she likes this dynamic.******

sometimes it is an unhealthy relationship that they become accustomed of, if they are not abused they don't feel OK, or if someone treats them good they feel unhappy, its a common problem.
