Do certain women attract violent men?
Women from all walks of life experience abuse and don’t have much in common. It’s often assumed that abused women are weak and ‘doormats.’ But strong independent women also experience domestic violence. Most women who have successfully managed to escape a violent relationship alive are very careful to choose a different type of relationship the next time. Some may also choose to remain alone rather than risk another potentially violent relationship. Women who have been abused but have not sought help in their healing are potentially at more risk simply because they have not learned the skills and confidence to keep them safe.
