[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it's something I don't understand.

How you can continue to stay with someone who bashes your face in every week is just very odd to me. On the same token, I've known some women that were being abused yet they would get upset when they knew someone else being abused. (ie. friend A is getting punched, etc then she finds out friend B is literally in the same boat yet she's urging friend B to leave her abuser while friend A continues to stay) [/quote]

It's not that the victim wants to stay with someone who is bashing your face in. [b]It's that their spouse could try to perpetrate the violence even after they leave and especially if kids are involved it's a hard risk to take.[/b]

Sometimes the abuse is not physical and then it's harder for the victim to discern whether there actually is abuse. I am potentially in this situation- my husband has a horrible anger problem and when he lashed out it's really nasty- he has called me and the kids "stupid" and told us to shut up. But there is also the side of him that is tender and loving and I know that he definitely loves the kids with all his heart. It's really hard to leave a situation when there are signs that it could potentially be better.

Bottom line- don't be so judgy.[/quote]

Look what happened to Nicole Simpson after she left OJ. [/quote]
