Your Questions About Abusive Relationships
Susan asks…
How come battered women choose to stay in abusive relationships rather than just leave?
I was watching a tv show and the husband was beating his wife. But she would never leave him she kept going back to him. I just don’t understand if I was getting beat up I would flee the relationship asap. Why do so many women choose to stay in abusive relationships?
admin answers:
Many reasons, but the one most commonly overlooked by those on the outside trying hard to figure it out is: love.
Society just can’t seem to understand how anyone could love someone who abuses them. But trust me, if love wasn’t an issue, it would be easier to leave. Sure there are other reasons, too, but love is a very powerful thing.

Why do successful women stay in abusive relationships?
I have a number of successful friends who are in abusive relationships. One in particular, manages a retail store and her husband of 7 years works on and off never full time just enough to pay support and buy his cigs. She is very cute and slim. What would make her want to be treated so badly?
admin answers:
Maybe she is afraid to leave him, or she doesn’t fell that what he is doing is wrong and is making herself believe that he loves her and that she won’t leave him. You need to be there for you, also if you want to be a good friend you need to tell someone immediately so that this situation can be resolved. You need to get her to understand that this is not the kind of relationship that she should be in and that someone out there does love her, and will love her and not treat her this way. Also someone out there has a JOB and will support her unlike this pig.
Donna asks…
How many abusive relationships can you name in hollywood?
I’m asking this question b/c there are young teens who are gullible to the fact, that it is okay to keep going back & forth in a relationship w/ someone who is not suitable for you. They believe it is acceptable b/c the celebrities they admire are the examples of abusive relationships….
admin answers:
I don’t know about Hollywood, however it is a problem out there. There’s all kinds of abuse that people don’t like at it as abuse…for an example if I were to say “My kid wouldn’t even done that!”…is basically saying that person is dumb and stupid…and it’s considered verbal abuse. There’s all kinds such as physical, emotional, financial, sexual, spiritual, verbal and psychological.

What do you do if you’re getting stressed out from everyone’s abusive relationships?
I’m 17. It seems like everyone in my family is in abusive relationships and I have to hear it all the time and I’m so sick of it. I’m so tired of listening to people screaming and yelling. I can’t even go to bed until very late at night because it’s not quiet until then. I live in a typical middle class neighborhood but my family acts like white trash. I have no respect for them at all.
I’m stressed out and p’issed off. What should I do? I don’t know what to do.
