For one, those of you who are screaming (yukii) that a girl who stays in an abusive relationship is a dumb bitch - until you've been there, shut your goddamn mouth.
An abusive relationship is a touchy subject, but they usually develop over time. A person can be with someone for years before they start showing signs of abuse - and even when they do, it's so gradual you barely notice. A fight that got out of control here, words that were said there, and then *bam* it happens, you get pushed down. You're not really sure if it's an accident or not or what exactly happens and that's where it all starts. Once you're in there and that person starts getting control of your life, it is VERY hard to get out - because before the hitting starts, there's already been a lot of mental abuse.
A girl who gets the shit beat out of her, ends up in the hospital, and THEN goes back is a fucking idiot. One who isn't really sure what's happening is just scared. Once you finally get out of that situation though, one of two things happen - #1 you find an equally as abusive schmuck (which at that point, you are a moron and deserve the beating) or #2 you get a little therapy to get you to understand what happened and then continue on with normal and healthy relationships (hopefully) from that standpoint on.
I do think it is worth mentioning, however, how long that cycle takes to develop and how utterly terrifying it is the day that you wake up and realize what happened.
