"Why doesn't she just leave?"
This is the top question I hear. It's not why doesn't he change?! But, let's cast that question on the victim. I've previously shared a video on this topic but I've asked several Survivors to share why they stayed and I'll be sharing those responses this week from these AMAZING ladies. (Real names will not be shared) There are so many very personal reasons why a victim stays that ranges from:
Fear of the abuser
Embarrassment
Shame
No money
No job
No housing
No health insurance
Worry that he will retaliate
Worry he will take the kids
And more!
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.
