Well, I believe the main reason women stay in those type of situations is out of fear. Fear of what he will do if they try to leave, fear of what they will do and how they will get by on their own, and fear of losing the security of having someone. I know that last one sounds strange, but when you are in that type of situation it begins to seem normal and for some women it is very hard to think of being alone, no matter how horrible the relationship is. I`m not sure about any organizations that help battered women....other than the YWCA, but I`m sure there are listings in the phone book and you can also get info about this kind of thing at a WIC or a welfare office.

i don't know of any organizations that support abused women. I can tell you that most abused women stay in the relationship because they have a fear of the unknown. They have been put down and made to believe that they aren't worth anything, so they don't even try. They think that they can't make it on their own. They have low self esteem and think that staying is better than leaving because they are at least used to what they have beeen getting and fear of the unknown is just out of the question.

To start I want to say that abuse (on any level) doesn't just start overnight. There are red flags that we tend to ignore at the sake of having someone in our lives. Most women in thesee type of relationships, have very low self esteem and a great lack of love for themselves (for what ever reason). They are belittled in many different ways by the abuser, so that he wears down their mind, since this is the most powerful part of our being. The abuse is a power struggle for the abuser who wants to remain in control.

Violence against adult men is a criminal offense and violence against women people is a criminal offense. If I observed somebody being overwhelmed up interior the line i may well be in basic terms as probably to step in and attempt to end it if a female replaced into hitting a guy or a guy replaced into hitting a female. family members violence isn't justice as people do no longer need to be dealt with like that. xxx xx x

women stay because they love him, and believe in their hearts he will change. they also stay because they have no where else to go, most are jobless, and peniless. most of these women have been beat down so badly they have no self worth left, they think they deserved to be beaten. they are women with low self worth, who don't feel they deserve better. in every city there are doestic violence hot lines, and shelter's for women to call. in these shelter's they can get therapy, and a place to go where it is safe and they won't be beaten.my daughter was in one of those marriages a few years back, nothing we said convinced her to leave him. she had a support system, but no home to call her own, leaving would have meant living with relatives, which she found intolorable. she finally left him and got a divorce.but after much prompting and alot of heartache seeing ones child beaten by a monster, knowing there was little one could do.

Some chicks are just stupid. Speaking from experience. I had girlfriends who didn't think a guy loved them unless he knocked them around and I was in high school. I thought they were morons. Also it's a pattern. Some women see they're moms getting their asses kicked and follow suit. My mom used to get knocked around by my dad and finally left him when I was around 6 or 7. I would kill a guy before I let him put a hand on me. After seeing what happened to my mom. BUT! I had a sister who got knock around by her boyfriend until he finally killed her. So yeah those are my choices.
