• This quote is describing why is women still in abusive relatioships. To me I think the reason why women are still in abusive relationships is because they are scared to leave. They think that i they leave the man they will ind out where she is and attack her again. For an example, a woman runs away from her husband and she changes her name and everything but ater a while he finds her and abuse her ten times worse than before. So women should immediately get out of and abusive relationship.
