This is why it is important to be aware of our own biases and limited experiences.
It is easier to chalk up others circumstances to frailty or defect on their behalf, but my belief is that most people are doing the best that they know how.
We show how we are better not by judging them, but by providing means for them to better themselves.

Well, it is frailty/a defect that leads a person to stay with an abuser in many cases. The help available is to help people overcome their own issues that have led them to stay in an abusive relationship. It's good this help is available.
