<div>" “Why doesn’t she just leave?”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>is a typical response when a woman is living in the throes of domestic violence. Of course, when dealing with the psychological, emotional and economic aspects of power abuse, there is no ‘just’ about it and, often, no justice either. When one Googles “why don’t victims of domestic violence not leave,” there are lists of all of the reasons victims of domestic violence contend with in order to convince themselves to leave or to lie to themselves it’s better to stay.

<div>Skye experienced the psychological and emotional turmoil that all victims of domestic violence go through, not only when they are planning to leave, but also when they struggle with the decision that it’s best to go back—and then hate themselves for it which adds to the low self-esteem and vulnerability that abusers feed upon. When she finally had the courage to leave, Skye told me how not only her courage, but also the violence she was working to extricate herself and her young children from, were trivialized by the authorities."
