Why Do Women Stay in Relationships With Abusive Men?
This question is one that has been asked many times. Why would a women stay with a man who treats her poorly? Some women stay with a man who is abusive--physically, verbally or emotionally. Why would they do that?
I think I can answer that question with a very short phrase - "LOW SELF-ESTEEM" Often the women accept and put up with being treated badly because they don't believe they deserve anything better. They feel they don't really deserve respect and don't demand it.
I was in a relationship like this years ago and I stayed for a very long time. I should have left and removed myself from the abuse, but I was afraid. I was fearful, insecure, and didn't know what to do or where to go.
Eventually I made a decision to end that bad marriage and make a better life for myself. It was one of the bravest and smartest things I've ever done. I became independent for the first time in my life - a scary thing to do - but I survived it and because I was brave enough to leave, I now have a very happy life. I am no longer a victim, I'm proud to say I am a survivor!
I would like to encourage all women to believe in themselves. Know that you are wonderful and unique. You deserve to be treated with love and respect by everyone, most especially your loved ones. Demand respect, accept nothing less from anyone.
As a certified life coach for women, I help many women improve the quality of their lives. If your life is not as happy as you want it to be, coaching may be the answer for you. I offer a complimentary coaching session that will provide you with the opportunity to experience coaching so you can determine if working with me as your coach would be beneficial.
