I really hope and pray to god that realization hits her before he kills her or ends up seriously hurting her or the baby.

I think it’s increased to 10 times on average, at least in my state. It varies greatly between each woman and it’s so heart breaking

It’s often more about brainwashing than love. They’ll believe that they’re worthless and need the guy bcos no one else will support them or their kids. They’ve often been isolated from friends and family, so they have no support system. Sometimes the man controls all the money so they wouldn’t be able to get very far. The best thing you can do for her is be there no matter what. Be careful with texts bcos you have to assume he’s reading those. Don’t push her too hard or she might retreat, etc

Kids usually make it harder bcos you can’t watch them 24/7. It’s hard to move far enough away that the man can’t find you, and if he’s on their birth certificates then the school will let him pick them up. He could abduct them or worse as retribution for you trying to leave. And if you don’t have any of your own money, you’re less likely to be willing to live in a car and dumpster dive for food bcos you don’t wanna put your kids through that. And people yell at you that kids need their father

My mom was able to get us to a domestic violence shelter, and they had a tiny school on the property but it only went up through fifth grade… so I had to go to public school for middle school and my dad showed up, told them to pull up my birth certificate, and showed his license to prove he was my father. They were in the middle of the court case but he hadn’t been found guilty yet, so the school legally had to let me go w him, even though I was screaming and crying.

He abducted me for abt a week and tried to get me to confess where the shelter was, but I wouldn’t/couldn’t (I knew it would make every person in there unsafe but also I fuckin suck at directions, to this day I’d be able to drive there but I couldn’t tell you a street name if I tried). Luckily he didn’t do anything to me afaik but my mom was worried I was dead or worse.. that kind of fear can stop you from doing a lot of stuff
