Why doesnt she leave?
There are a myriad of reasons battered women remain in or return to abusive relationships; many have to do with economic and other barriers leaving presents. A combination of these barriers and fear may keep a woman trapped in the relationship. Most battered women eventually leave, and we need to remember that leaving an abusive relationship is a process, not an event. It takes time for victims to examine their options and make plans for their escape. Ironically, the most dangerous time for a battered woman is after she has left the relationship. Most homicides of battered women and the most serious injuries to battered women occur when she is seeking help or she has left the relationship.
