Domestic Violence: Why Doesn't She Just Leave?

It is better to spend less time judging and more time helping. Even though you might not understand, people have valid reasons for finding it difficult to leave abusive relationships. Fear of violence or death is a normal human response to a threat of any kind.

These are only a few of the reasons for staying. The cycle of violence is far more complex. The first step to helping can be educating yourself on how the cycle works.
