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 am one that left when abuse was on all levels...

but after 7 years..

my adult children and I were worse off than before..

we are back together after a struggle and I am better off than I was for those 7 years.

So, not the status quo.

Kinda feel like I got in the Hosea thingy.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am thankful you and your children got out.

BTW, worked in Family law in Harris County- TX during the 7 years-- courts I was in - victimized women had children ripped away from them and left with nothing.

Things have changed. No justice in the Family Court, regularly.

So, I decided that the 'abuse' could end if I changed my mind where it would not exist...
I am wife of his youth
I am mother of children
I am honored
I am worthy
I am life giver and nurturer of All things related to my family.
I would recover the things that had been stolen and destroyed from me and my family by the grace of God.

Not a victim.
