- Several reasons a person might stay in an abusive relationship include financial dependence, fear of retaliation, a desire to keep the family together, or lack of support from friends and family. Many victims may also feel a sense of love or loyalty to their abuser, complicating their decision to leave.
- In my area, resources include local shelters, hotlines, and counseling services specifically for domestic violence survivors. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) is also a valuable resource. Providing patients with information about these services can help them take the first steps toward safety and healing.
