We should never again ask, Why doesnt she just leave? Nikki - TopicsExpress



          

We should never again ask, Why doesnt she just leave? Nikki Elias, and thousands of others like her who end up dead at the hands of their abusers in this country every year, did leave. Leaving is the most dangerous step a victim can take. When we hear about a victim of domestic violence we so often want to know whats wrong with her and wonder what she did to deserve the abuse. This supports the abusers world view, that his abuse is justified. When a victim of domestic violence stays or returns to her abusive partner, what we should be asking is, What are the conditions he created to cause her to feel that she has no other safe choice but to stay?
