Why domestic violence / abuse victims won’t leave?

Emotional / Psychological  VS Physical Abuse

Emotional/psychological – you cannot see the abuse – its marks are invisible.

Physical abuse is one of few abuse forms which leaves a physical or visual mark.

Emotional abuse is designed to make you feel  a certain way – guilt, shame, sadness.

Physical abuse is used to make you feel scared, so that you can’t leave for your safety.

Psychological abuse is used to keep you in the dark, so you can’t see what is really happening, can’t see the abuse for what it is…

Physical Abuse is used as a punishment tool to keep you in check, so that you know not to step out of the perpetrators’ restrictions again…

Emotional abuse is about making you think the physical abuse was your fault, that you were to blame.

Physical abuse is actually the abuser in control…they always know their limits.

Psychological abuse is proof of this, as they meticulously plan their attacks which they cover up strategically with drama and fake emotions.

Abuse can be invisible and visible and is designed to keep the victim from leaving.
