I'm assuming you've never lived through domestic violence. Like I said before, it is very complex. There's a lot involved, and for women, it's incredibly hard to leave, especially with a woman being murdered by a domestic partner or ex-partner every 4 days in Australia. "Why didn't she just leave" is such a victim blaming way to look at it. As some who survived a childhood of domestic violence, including AVOs, mother being admitted to hospital, etc, the "love" and "the children", the "home", the "family", the lack of support, the judgement, all these things, are huge reasons as to why women stay. There is just so much more than "how bad was it really".
