Document Summary
There was no hint of violence in the beginning. The first step in gbv = seduction/charm and isolation. Something must have happened to scare her so bad where she thought she was going to die if she stayed, so she spoke out. Why domestic violence victims don"t leave // leslie morgan steiner ted talk: Domestic violence is not just a women"s issue. Made her feel like the dominant partner in the relationship by idolizing her; confided in her by revealing he was physically abused by his step father. He bought guns to make himself feel protected from the trauma he endured as a child . She was beaten 1-2x per week by her husband. 70% of victims who left their abusers were killed after the fact. Too dangerous to leave an abuser can result in murder, long-term stalking, denial of financial resources, or manipulation of family court system. Breaking the silence = way to help abuse victims.
