See What You Made Me Do: Power, Control and Domestic Violence

by Jess Hill

each woman will have her own reasons for staying. The strong, independent woman believes she is the only one who can help him defeat his demons. The woman who grew up with violence may think she doesn’t deserve any better. The woman recovering from an abusive relationship seeks the protection of another man. A religious woman believes marriage is sacred. A woman from overseas is threatened with deportation if she leaves. A new mother is determined not to fail like her parents did. A young woman caught in the rush of her first love is eager to please and willing to change. By the time a woman realises the threat she’s facing, she may have no choice but to stay, because leaving either feels impossible, or has become too dangerous.
