spock Why do some people get out of an abusive relationship and end up back in one again?spock


Because it's familiar.
Low self-esteem
Low self-worth
Because it's the only life they know
Because it's the only type they're attracted to.
Because they don't understand that their choice is a part of the problem
For the same reason a moth is drawn to a flame, a victim is drawn to a victimizer.


This isn't intended to be cruel, but I've seen so many women stay with their abusive boyfriends/husbands, or go back to them after a severe beating. I've learned to accept that more often than not, the 'victim' will volunteer to be a victim again, until the pattern is broken. It really sucks to watch it.

It has to do with the types of women (or men for that matter). The people that enter into these abusive relationships are people with extremly low self esteem. Usually from a disfunctional family. Sexually abusive, physically abusive, neglected, ect. Also these relationships dont start off abusive and they usually go to mentally abusive before physically. The abuser makes the other feel as though they cant get any better or more often dont deserve any better. The abuser is also telling the spose that they are sorry and it wont ever happen again. They also love their abuser. Its a very sick relationship but u have to remember that the people envolved in these relationships are mentally stable...they usually have some sort of problem before they ever enter into these relationships. They also seeks out a partner that is abusive having learned it from a young age from their parents...wow I really kinda yammered on there, didnt I ? lol
