Usenet Newsgroups Domestic Violence From: olympiada2007@gmail.com (Rusalka) This is interesting. This says that abusive men are psychologically incapable of leaving the relationship. Why don't men leave relationships that are supposedly so unsatisfactory to them? If we listen to men who abuse their wives, what we hear is how terribly inadequate these women are for the men. At the same time, we know that abusive men are tremendously dependent on their partners. Fear of rejection, emotional withdrawal, and/or abandonment are major factors that actually cause these men to be violent. Men who batter women are often psychologically incapable of leaving the relationship. [Does this sound familiar to any of you? It sure does to me. Oh boy. We got lots of work to do.] Olympiada Subject  Domestic Violence
