Domestic violence is a growing problem that is now considered a public health issue. There are times when women remain with the men that are abusive to them, citing several reasons including the fact that they are there for the children, they don't know where to turn, or they are safer remaining with the abuser than they are leaving (if the abuser threatens to kill them if they leave).
Are these reasons good enough for women to stay? Are the women just weak willed? Share your experiences or suggestions with us.

I don't think anyone enjoys being abused, by any means, but I do think people get "trapped" into routines and sometimes blame themselves for becoming victimized. "You make your own bed, now lie in it." And sometimes knowing what to expect from someone (the abuser) and having learned to adapt to it, they figure they can handle it and even deserve it. Just my theory from the outside...
