Domestic Violence: Why Women Go Back to their Man

brookhaven

Battered wives and domestic violence are among the top marital issues we hear of today. This normally leads to divorce and separation. But have you ever thought why some women go back after all has been done and said?

According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year 1,200 women die and 2 million are injured because of intimate partner violence. Tragically, many of these women will go without seeking help or treatment, often due to internalized guilt and depression.

Women frequently go back to their abuser because of fears stemming from the trauma. Women often feel that they are incapable of being alone, and fight to maintain the relationship even though it causes them pain. Women may be scared of further abuse resulting from trying to leave. Others may fear that they will lose their family or their welfare if the abuser is not in their life. Often times, these deep rooted fears are enough to allow the abuse to continue.

Brookhaven Retreat is a fully accredited and certified dual-diagnosis treatment center exclusively for women that is fully equipped to deal with the emotional breakage caused by abuse. Located in the mountains of Seymour, Tenn., the facility is specifically designed to treat the unique needs of women who have suffered trauma and abuse. The specialized programs offered at Brookhaven Retreat use modern, holistic care with compassion and respect from its highly trained expert staff of licensed therapists, MDs, RNs, nurse practitioners and LPNs. Brookhaven Retreat’s mission is to give each woman the tools she needs to feel safe, accepted, complete, self confident, valuable and comfortable in her own skin through skilled therapy, life coaching and medical management.

Abuse comes in many forms. Although physical abuse produces tangible wounds, the emotional trauma caused by both physical and mental abuse can leave lasting damage.

“It takes great courage to leave an abusive relationship,” said Dawes. “Abusers cannot fix things with apologies and flowers. Women must find the strength to take action to stop the abuse and realize their self worth.”

    My girlfriend, or former girlfriend, left me to go back to her abusive, estranged husband. They have two children, who have also been victims of his physical temper tantrums. I even witnessed the abuse with my own eyes on one occassion. I love her so much and have never, EVER, been so in love with someone in my life. How he could do the things he’s done to her is inconcievable. She is so beautiful, smart, considerate, good hearted, and down to earth. I pray every night that she’s been gone that God will watch over her and protect her. She has left him twice to live with me and then went back. She sites the kids, no income, etc… as reasons for going back. To me, there’s no reason good enough to go back to such a hell on earth. But I’ve read that abused women have a hard time leaving those situations. I only wish she knew how much I really am IN LOVE with her and want to make her life so much better. She is MY BEAUTIFUL, MY EVERYTHING. and I miss her.
