physical abuse(domestic violence)

In the article that I was reading it was saying that physical abuse starts off little by little not just right away. In many of these situations in the main thing is to leave the house but for many women this is very hard because the husband usually threatens the women or they would use these methods, "intimidation, male privilege (or making it seem like the man can be the only one to make the 'big' decisions), using the kids by threatening to take them away or making the woman feel guilty or telling her he'll hurt them." Many families end up broken and can never be fix because of this. The husbands might change but it would take them long but the damage to the women is permanent. The scars and bruises will go away in time but the emotional damage will stay with them for a long time or until they get the help that will change that.
