Why does she stay?!
One comment I see and hear often is, "Why Does She Stay?!" or "I would have left after the first punch!" There are many personal reasons a victim stays and these include in random order:
1) Fear- Of change or fear of the abuser
2) Guilty- Maybe she didn't try hard enough to work on the relationship
3) Lack of resources- No job, car, money, or even a lack of support
There are these and many more that are included in this episode.
Someone out there needs to know they are not alone and that they can survive. Perhaps you are a parent or friend of someone trapped in an abusive relationship and need to know how to help. My goal is to share awareness, offer empowerment, and educate others about emotional traumas and domestic abuse. Here I will share my story and also stories of courage and healing from Survivors, Coaches, to Therapists/Counselors.
