I like your above post. It rings accurate. I could imagine women staying for the children, when in fact staying ends up doing more harm to the children then leaving would. Fear is another good one, but there must be a million things to be afraid of. If the man is already abusive then there is no telling what he might do, especially if he threatens to go after your family. He could threaten financial abuse - just anything. Abusive men usually have traits, that result in their woman being completely dependent on them so that it is not as easy to run away when the bruises get too much.
