I don think victims ever accept help anyway, so whats the point of bringing the matter up?
Some of the victim’s behaviors, e.g., her lack of confidence own abilities, her fear of the perpetrator, can be understood in light of the control the perpetrator has managed to enforce through isolating the victim. Without outside contact and information, it becomes more difficult for the victim to avoid the perpetrator’s psychological control. Some victims come to believe the perpetrator when they are told that if they leave, they will not be able to survive alone; others resist such distortions.
