Wow. Domestic abuse survivors stay because they don’t have any other options?

No.

Abusers create an environment of fear where abused believe they have no choices. They separate people from their friends so they think no one cares about them. They convince their victim that no one else will want them.

They create an artificial sense that there is no way out. It’s absolutely not the case that abused people are abused because they have no other option.

Promoting the idea these people have no choices plays right into the abusers plans.
