Why do women stay in abusive relationships?
Many reasons, fear is the #1 reason. Many have no knowledge of available help, some fear losing their children, some fear being alone, some are without economic income and feel they have no skills to be employable; some have very low self-esteem If you know someone in this situation, please do not ask them why they stay. Offer them the crisis line number and your emotional support. Let them know they deserve better. The bigger societal challenge is to focus on stopping the abuser by holding them accountable and preventing violence by zero tolerance education.
they stay in them because they are most likely scared to get out. they feel that if they try and leave that this person will try and hurt them even more. also, sometimes they stay in them because they don’t know any better. they have never been in a relationship that is good so they have nothing to compare it to, some women believe that it’s as good as it gets.
