Even someone who has been throught it, can't really comment on someone else relationship, as every single situation is different.
People who get told they are constantly worthless, and that they deserve the beatings, do come to believe it. However, not matter how low you get the door. or the police are always there, it just takes more guts to make it stop than it does to keep taking the violence.
It's not a secret because it was public, but Lettie wrote a very moving and inspirational blog here on Accy Web, about how you can leave a very violent and abusive relationships, and how it is possible to turn your life around.
