During October my main goal will be to educate women on how to escape a battering spouse.
One of the questions about domestic violence that hasn’t been answered properly is “Why Do Women Stay So Long in an Abusive Relationship?”
That issue, the cycle of violence, the difficulties in leaving and how to overcome those obstacles will be addressed in the next interview I’ll be doing on Thursday with Lisa Fredette, an experienced life coach and divorce mentor.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and as a survivor of a battering spouse I know the stigma that is attached to the women who are the victims of these crimes. Over and over again I hear people ask “Why did the women stay with him if he was beating her?” In our interview I hope to shed some light on that complex topic and explain the cycle of abuse that leads to the final blows. I will also outline how a woman can leave or escape her abuser, and go on to develop a full, meaningful life.

Please pass this notice on to anyone who may be silently suffering and needs valuable information on how getting out of an abusive relationship can be accomplished.
Sincerely,
Diane Tegarden
Even putting aside the practical and financial issues, I firmly believe that it is the manner in which self confidence and self esteem are destroyed are the major factors. Whilst the physical damage may be apparent, it can be all too easy to ignore the unseen psychological trauma that the victims experience.
