Not to be insulting, but I think you need to understand how controlling and how good at emotionally imprisoning their victims these abusers are.
They're usually not the brutal, wife beater wearing half bald hair backed monsters that we see on T.V.
They're usually charming and good looking and you would never be able to pick them out of the lineup. But they understand how control works. They establish it a little at a time, they take away the things that would make you able to run to freedom.
They hit and apologize and cry and promise that it will never happen again, then the next time its more brutal and followed by threats.
A lot of these abused woman are completely controlled and cowed and scared to leave, its the exceptionally brave ones that do, the rest we rarely find out about.
I have incredible sympathy for abused woamn, and everything should be done to find a way to educate them that they can leave, and they can seperate and most importantly they can find protection from these monsters.
