If you're a housewife with 3 or 4 kids and no credit or much work history, and in the meantime your abusive husband is making 300k a year and everything (specifically the bank accounts) is in his name then that complicates matters. Sometimes it's not as simple as just walking away.
Usually it IS that simple. It only becomes complicated after she's spent 5, 10, 15 years with him and brought four kids into that muck. You can't tell me that the first time he hit her, back when they were dating, that she couldn't simply walk away.
I do have a lot of sympathy for these women who're victims of their abusive relationship. It's true that no one should be mistreated. It takes a lot of climbing and clawing to get out of a bad relationship you've been in for 10 years and after they've been beat and battered, their emotional state is no doubt even more shattered their their abused body. But I have to this. WHY were you not wise enough to get out the very first time hands were laid on you in anger? After 10 years of this, she's emotionally submerged in all the abuse she endured and walking away isn't easy, I can imagine. But I just am perplexed by why she didn't say NO the very first time she was hit.
