[quote=Anonymous]A lot of women stay without living in the total denial of OP's sister-in-law. More than anything, we stay because we and the kids can't survive financially. We stay because we can protect the kids better if we're present, rather than letting them be left alone with their father or abusive members of his family. There's a huge element of getting worn down and damaged by living with someone emotionally abusive, because you're always on guard, with regular terrorizing events. After a while it wears you away to nothing. There's a lot of misunderstanding and blaming/shaming the victim. People look at us and think there's a strong woman who doesn't let anyone mess with her. They think my husband is a gentle, easygoing person. They don't know what he's really like, or what happens behind closed doors. [/quote]
