How tragic.
I will never understand how women allow men to abuse them.
Back in the 70’s I had a cousin who escaped from an abusive marriage with the help of my aunt.
The husband would not allow her to go ANYWHERE. He owned his own business and the house was behind it and he monitored her every move.
Well, one day she had a doctor’s appointment (maybe I don’t know for sure or if it was an excuse) and the guy had trusted my aunt enough to let her take her and their little girl and they disappeared. They left with the clothes on their back. They couldn’t take anything because they couldn’t arouse suspicion that he would find out.
My aunt would NOT talk about where she was. Nobody knew by her. It was years before she reappeared back on the scene.
I never saw her again.
And most of them can’t be “saved.” You get them out of the bad situation or the husbands divorce them or die and they immediately find other such. One lady explained it as if he is bad enough to beat me up he is bad enough to protect me from everyone else. Ultimately that didn’t work out for her that way.
