Victims of abuse may fear leaving their abuser from "summary" of Why Does He Do That? by Lundy Bancroft
Many people wonder, "Why doesn't she just leave him?" when they hear about a woman who is being abused by her partner. What they don't understand is that leaving an abusive relationship is not as simple as walking out the door. Victims of abuse may fear leaving their abuser for a variety of reasons, some of which may not be immediately obvious. One reason why a victim may fear leaving her abuser is that she may be financially dependent on him. Many abusers control their partners by limiting their access to money or resources, making it difficult for them to support themselves if they were to leave. Without a job or savings of her own, a victim may worry about how she would survive on her own. Another reason why a victim may fear leaving her abuser is that she may have been isolated from friends and family. Abusers often try to cut off their partners from outside sources of support, leaving them feeling alone and helpless. A victim may worry that if she were to leave, she would have nowhere to turn for help or guidance. Additionally, a victim may fear leaving her abuser because she may have been threatened with violence if she tries to leave. Abusers often use fear and intimidation to control their partners, making it dangerous for a victim to try to escape. A victim may worry that if she were to leave, her abuser would come after her and harm her or her loved ones. It is important for us to understand the complex reasons why victims of abuse may fear leaving their abusers. By recognizing the challenges that victims face, we can provide them with the support and resources they need to safely leave their abusive relationships.
