not leaving -

Quote From: bactphd95

Based on the teaser, this promises to be verrry interesting, especially when you consider that this is on top of "Bully Dads" and the "Obsessive Love" series. Is any situation such as this as "simple" as it seems to outsiders? Hopefullly, viewers will begin to realize that this is not necessarily so.

 

If the teaser is accurate, Amy is being abused physically, but has no intention of getting out...what logic/thought processes contribute to this? We will all find out, I suppose.

Sometimes you can't- laws , no money etc,

Sometimes it is Betrayal/Trauma/Stockholm Bond (syndrome

Sometimes it's all you know- so you do what you know -

Sometimes you lose custody if you leave -

 

Only a few are prepared to lose everything -just in the hopes of staying alive-and thus showing by actions that horrendous abuse is - unacceptable.

When I heard Amy say that she would not give up on her marriage without giving it a fighting chance i had flashbacks.  i married my husband at the age of fifteen and left at the age of fortythree.  I said the same thing.  i had three siblings all divorced.  it wasnt going to happen to my marriage.  The odds were stacked against us because of the age thing, well I was going to beat the odds.  My physical abuse didnt start until about fifteen years into our marriage but the verbal abuse was always there.  Now my thirteen year old son is paying the price for my staying.  all of my sons are effected in some way but Matthew is a mess.  Amy if I can say one thing to you it is that your children will pay the price long after you move on.  Please get out now while you still have a chance tom save your kids.
