Why do women endure abusive/ loveless relationships, hoping that it will all get better soon!?
You know from someone who has never been in one of these relationships, it’s almost impossible to understand. I am necessarily referring to you but to everyone. I myself have not been in one, but I was raised in one. My father was abusive to my mom and me, but my brother not so much. When I was younger I wondered why my mom stayed in this marriage for over 20 years. He beat her so bad at times she is lucky to still be alive. On top of the physical abuse their was mental and sexual abuse. Part of it is fear, these men use fear to control these women. My mom was so scared of my dad to even attempt to leave him scared her enough to stay. Not only that alot of these men threaten them their families to. My dad told my mom he would kill her parents if she left him. Another part of it is the women’s low self esteems. He uses this to his advantage, telling her she made him do it, if only she would listen or do better, to the point she actually thinks she deserves it. And yes like you mentioned
