[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the victim blaming poster understands how hard it is to escape an abuser and how confusing it is when you are in it and the person can also be quite charming. You want to protect your family and convince yourself what you experience isn't real. The most dangerous time is when you actually leave which is shown by research and by this particular story as well. Why didn't she leave sooner? She probably knew there was a good chance it would end like this. Why did she have so many kids with him? He may not have shown the full entent of his abusive personality by then. Stress sets off the crazy. At the time she was having babies they were supported by her father and she had the kids quickly. [/quote]

PP is clearly not familiar with the cycle of abuse. It's not like the abuser is constantly abusive - if they were, it would be easy to leave!

There is a "honeymoon phase" of the cycle, during which the abuser pulls out all the stops and turns on the charm to make sure the victim is once again convinced that they are madly in love and if she just stops doing X, Y and Z to set him off, everything will be ok and the abuse won't recur. And this guy was clearly REALLY good at turning on the charm - even as a suspected murderer., he still managed to get a girlfriend! [/quote]
