Best Answer

Several different reasons. One could be because the abuser has such a hold on the abused that they stay because they think that the abuser is the only person that will want them.

There is also fear that if the abused left the abuser would hunt them down and make them pay for leaving in the first place.

If you asked 10 different abused people why they stay (stayed) in they're abusive relationships I can almost promise you'll get 10 different answers.

In some cases the abused person believes that she/he can fix the abuser, or for complex reasons might even feel guilt about leaving the abuser.
