It tends to be complicated. Guy is a control freak, isolates her from family and friends, controls her communication so it's harder to get help. Kids make it worse. She believes he'll change because he says he loves her, he blames her for the abuse, belittles her to believing he's all that would ever want to be with her. It becomes like a Stockholm syndrome for her.
Great post Jet. She basically becomes a prisoner in her own home.

Right, it's all the women's fault.
It's not all the woman's fault. But both the abuser and the woman that decides to stay with him need serious counseling.
I can't buy into this idea that they're are poor victims powerless to escape their plight.
The guy isolates her from family and friends? She makes a decision to cut those people out from her life, to appease the guy. She's an adult, not a child. Maybe the first step in the woman's recovery is with the woman realizing that she must be accountable for the decisions she makes in her life.
If she's made to believe that the guy is responsible for everything that's happened to her, that just perpetuates the idea that he controls her and that she can do nothing about it.

I have work with women who had DHS tell them if they failed a drug test they would lose their children. They failed the drug test. I figure if a women can't quit using drugs in order to keep her children she is pretty far gone. The sad truth is that some women carry much baggage and can't overcome life's challenges. Guys who seem to abuse women are like addicts who can't help themselves. IMO the women have a co-dependency where they need to be needed. They feel as though they can help the abuser and think they love them.
