The primary reason they don't leave is because they can't afford the upkeep for themselves and their children. It was even worse at that time as many women still were not working outside of the home and those who did usually didn't make the sort of money that would afford them a decent life without the spouse. That is exactly why the didn't (and still may not) leave.

Wow. This movie really seems so real. The acting was great. Even though the movie wasn't all that happy, I think that women could learn a lot from it. I too have been in a so called abusive relationship in the past. The only difference was that I didn't just sit back and take it. Instead I gave it right back to him. Woman or not I know how to defend myself and I think that all women need to stand up for themselves. Just because we are women, it does not mean that we should take abuse just because we think we can't take on a guy that may be bigger than we are. It disgusts me!

If the end is that close, why worry?

Thank God that your life has not turned out that way. But a person in that position doesn't just one day turn up there. There's a whole path that leads there. For the most part, they have been conditioned through the course of their lives to accept this sort of treatment. You, on the other hand, have had the good fortune to have been raised otherwise, to have had the good influences in your life that taught you that you have self worth and deserve better than to be treated like this. It is very hard to break that sort of conditioning, and to all those women (and men) who take that step, you have my undying respect. And to those who haven't taken it yet, I wish you the blessing of people in your life who will help you, and the strength to let them.

You can't understand it BECAUSE you've never been through it. Even so, a little research into the psychology of abuse victims should enlighten you.

I CANNOT believe women, when they have a chance to get out, decide to stay. (as in this case) Makes me wonder if down deep they like it. There are battered men as well I know. I have never been in an abusive affair in my 68 years, and I can't imagine staying in one after the first time. In this case, when she finally decided to get out, why in the he_ _ didn't she leave town? She had all the warnings about it resulting in child abuse, but thought she knew better than anybody else that it would never happen. Well it did. Great actors and actresses. Great acting.
