[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't judge because I have been that woman before.

I understand the depth of despair + the daily fear of living in a real, live nightmare.

Therefore I have zero patience for those that blame the victim.

But why did you stay for as long as you did? The first time he hit you or was verbally abusive, why didn't you leave? That's what I don't understand. I'm not trying to start an argument or anything like that but I really want to know why women stay. Yes, I've been hit before by a man that left me deaf in one ear BUT I left after that; all it took was one time. [/quote]

I'm glad you have the support and resources and ability to do that. Some women don't. Some women have nowhere to go, and no money, and no local family, and have been separated from their friends, and have been so brainwashed and beaten down that they've forgotten their own power. Some women have to think of not only their own escape, but how to protect and provide for children at the same time.

I'm glad it was easy for you. Your experience is not universal.[/quote]
