You must have witnessed some woman getting publically harassed by her husband. The abuser does not hesitate to disrespect the woman and on the other hand, the woman silently suffers or begs to stop until they reach home. An abuser can be anyone, be it your parents or brother. In physical abuse, a woman gets slapped, hit, or kicked by the abuser. Whereas emotional abuse, isolation, threats, and blaming the woman for every misdoing take place. But what makes a woman continue a such relationship, what stops them from walking out on the abuser? We have listed below all the possible reasons to understand women who choose to stay in an abusive relationship.
Where would they go
Women who continue to suffer have been taught by their parents that inlaws are the only home where they belong. They will lose their pride if they come back home. And, so these women struggle between their partners and parents. Therefore end up staying in the abusive relationship.
They do not earn
This is the harsh truth mostly in small cities or villages where after marriage women stop working or their parents never let them work in the first place. So, women suffer from the fear of losing financial support.
For the protection of their children
Some women keep going through domestic violence because they don't want their kids to lose their fathers or see their families falling apart. Any woman who is dealing with a such situation is advised to take a serious decision immediately. Staying there will only cause trauma to your children.
They fear the abuser
After all this time getting tortured by their partners some women start to fear the abuser. They lack support from family and friends and fear speaking against them.
Hoping they can change the abuser
Women who hope to bring a change in their partners have been fooled by them since the very start. They trick victims using the affectionate approach. They abuse and then apologize, calling it a mistake and promising to not repeat it. This gives women hope that maybe it will change someday.
