Instead of asking why doesn’t she leave, the question needs to be why is he abusing her?

Wʜʏ ᴅᴏᴇsɴ’ᴛ sʜᴇ ʟᴇᴀᴠᴇ?

Because he has her so brainwashed that it’s all her fault and that she’s no good to anyone and no one will want her or love her and there’s no way she can possibly make it on her own.

Wʜʏ ᴅᴏᴇsɴ’ᴛ sʜᴇ ʟᴇᴀᴠᴇ?

Because she thinks that if she just tries harder and if she’s a better wife and a better mom that maybe he will be happy with her and he wouldn’t get so angry with her. And maybe he will be the same sweet, charming man that he was when they first met.

Wʜʏ ᴅᴏᴇsɴ’ᴛ sʜᴇ ʟᴇᴀᴠᴇ?

Because he has her convinced that if she tries he will hurt or kill her or her family. Because he has threatened to tell the judge that she is a bad mom and will take away her kids and she will never see them again. Because he has taken away her money and convinced her that she has no good job qualities to make it on her own financially and she will always need him.

More people are concerned with why women stay in abusive relationships than why men are abusing women. Unless you’ve been in an abusive relationship people have no idea how hard it is to escape. Abusers are able to fool those outside the home because they usually only abuse those inside the home.

They need your support.
They need your love.
They do not need your judgement.

Let’s raise awareness

A block from the Lindsay city park where children play at the splash pad and ride bikes at the skatepark, 36-year-old Danual Valerio grabbed his ex-girlfriend by the throat and head butted her, declaring he was going to “kick her ass for real this time,” records show. Valerio, pleaded no contest to three felony charges and was ordered by the court to attend a 52-week batterer intervention program, complete two years of supervision by the Department of Corrections and pay $850 in fines and fees.
In 2020, 27,089 reports of abuse perpetrated by family members, current or former significant others and roommates were made to Oklahoma law enforcement. This is what is reported, there are so many more cases that go unreported.
That’s the highest number in at least 20 years, 61 people were killed in Oklahoma as a result of domestic violence in 2020.
Domestic violence in real and it is happening in our communities, it doesn't discriminate based on race, religion, socio economic class, gender, s*xuality, etc.
There is help available 24/7 @ (580) 436 - 3504. You do not have to report to law enforcement to get help.
It's time to take a stand in our communities against domestic violence. It is time to stop asking why the victim doesn't leave and ask why is the other person is choosing violence, and chooses to abuse their partner. Abuse is a choice.
It is time to support, encourage and empower victims leaving abusive relationships
