DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ABUSE

Odds are that a wife who tries to leave an abusive marriage may be up to 25% more likely to suffer even more abuse by trying to escape the abuse than if she stayed in the abusive relationship! It seems that when she actually leaves the abusive man this is when she may suffer even more abuse at the hands of the abusive husband.

Moreover, too often abused women escape to live with friends and/or family but this actually may endanger everyone involved! Abused women should seriously maybe consider seeking help from an abused women's shelter instead of shelter with family and friends. If an abusive husband wants you he may find you easily when you seek shelter from family and friends!
