People In Abusive Relationship – 

1. I stayed because I felt stuck. She was abusive in every way. And said she would tell the cops I abuse her. Show up at my house etc. Stalk my grandpa (who was sick with cancer) and things. I felt like I just had to stay in to prevent anything from blowing up.
2. Because I was sticking through my promises.
3. Because I was afraid of being alone. I thought I was happier with him and didn’t realize that I was slowly spiraling into a toxic relationship.
4. Because I was terrified of becoming homeless.
5. I needed the money.
6. I didn’t think I was good enough for anyone else. I felt lucky to have him, even if he was very harsh with me, I figured I had to be grateful that he wanted me.
7. I stayed for awhile because I was drugged out and convinced I was in love with him, I knew in the back of my mind that what he was doing wasn’t normal but I stuck with him for awhile until he went too far and I wanted to live without constantly being afraid.
8. I stayed with him because we were engaged and I thought he wanted to get married for the same reasons that I did but that wasn’t the case.
9. I stayed with him because I thought it was what I was supposed to do since I was in love with him. Later, we broke up and got back together many times. Finally I decided I was done.
10. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship and stayed several years. I kept pushing for him to get treatment, go to therapy, see a psychiatrist and he refused, until he realized that his problems were hurting his ability to work. He was diagnosed with a mental illness and started taking medication. He was completely transformed, became sweet, loving, and supportive. Until he stopped seeing a therapist. Medication alone is helpful only to some degree. Some of his abusive qualities returned and I realized that this is something I would have to live with for the rest of my life if I stay. So I left.
11. It’s been my experience that people rarely change, and it usually requires a profound life-altering event for it to happen.
12. Because she was really attractive.
13. Fear of change.
