    Good take. But I thought I was gonna learn something new. I posted a question awhile ago, one of them though tit's tolerable if the abuse doesn't cause death.

    It may also be because they believe that this abusive person truly loves them and they'll have no one if they leave.

      I was in an abusive relationship for a long while. My family, friends, and myself were being threatened, and I was terrified for mine and their lives. When I finally got the courage to tell the police, guess what? Police didn't do anything. Things aren't always in black and white. I stayed in something miserable that hurt myself to protect people around me.

      @Keyspirits Like I said, when I tried to leave, he threatened to harm my family and friends, the people closest to me. I did try to leave. I stayed out of fear he was going to hurt people I loved. When I told the police, they didn't protect me from him either. It's a lot more complex of a situation than just leaving sometimes.

      You should read it because the whole point of this take is to stop people like you being so offensive and close minded about such relationships. Even the take owner didn't understand but like she said, she did her research and now she understands. You're not even allowing yourself to understand.

      Also, people don't want sympathy or anything like that. In nearly every case of abusive relationships, no-one who knows the victim has any idea, they just notice weird behavioural changes. It was always kept on the low because they feared for their safety or they're too ashamed of being so controlled when they realise that that's been happening. No-one would get into abusive relationships for sympathy and if they did, they'd learn what a huge mistake they'd made. I actually can't believe how ignorant people can be.

      You are obviously not listening and you did not read the damn take. Te fact that you feel that it should be easy for someone to sneak away and not still be in danger if not more shows how insensitive you are being and you really don't understand and I'm not wasting anymore time talking to you. You need to read some of the girls' comments about their own personal experiences because you just don't get it.

      Well keyspirits maybe if you took the time to read the take people would actually care what you've said. But instead you go around spraying your hatred like a cat in heat. You talk without even knowing whats been said and I dont quite understand why. You say its 2015 like that justifies your attitude. When in fact women are gaining more rights the time is progressive and not regressive. So maybe instead of of talking before thinking you should give your brain a try.

      Uh no. I went into the abusive relationship, a confident, outspoken and independent person. I came out a complete mess, an empty shell of myself. Most people are very strong minded and end up coming out mentally destroyed.

      We will have ti agree to disagree then. Because if a strong minded person was ever abused, they would keave after the first time it happened. You think you were those things you listed above but in fact you weren't. Its ok. Not everyone is truly strong, but most people like to think they are. You obviously fall in the latter... Good luck to you.

      And also, just so we're clear, I'm a social work major learning about how to work with victims of domestic abuse so the majority of the content here were things I learned from professors, textbooks, and actual scientific journals on the issues of domestic abuse and abusive relationships. Not random websites online.

      Yeah, girls totally choose abusive guys. You think abusers let anyone in on their behaviour? No, because they know they'd never get a date that way so they charm their way into your life, then they take control. Don't post such comments when you've clearly got no clue.

      It's not a delusion, they often convince you they'll change and they make it appear that they've actually listened to you. They often admit to everything they've done wrong so it is like they know they're in the wrong and they're willing to turn tit around but it's all just a lie.
