What is going on with women who refuse to leave an abusive relationship? I am seriously starting to believe it is some sort of disorder. I don't mean to insult anyone or judge them. No one knows what someone else is going through unless they walk in their shoes. I am genuinely trying to understand. How can people help?
I see it as people just continuing to perform the dance they know; the dance their parents taught them. Once you are used to one way of being/interpreting/reacting in your relationships it is difficult to change. Finding a new dance teacher takes courage and time that a lot of people just don't think they have.
