It's likely that people who are being abused in a relationship feel guilty for a variety of reasons, and could benefit from support to evalutate the sources of guilt and reasons for remaining in that relationship. Please know that NO ONE ever deserves to be abused and although it may seem difficult to leave an abusive relationship, your life may depend on it - and so do your children's (if applicable) if they are experiencing abuse at the hands of the abuser or by witnessing your abuse - don't underestimate just how much your children are affected by this and will surely affect them for the rest of their lives. Most professionals realize that the abuser may likely have not always been abusive and has some positive qualities to which you were initially attracted, but despite having good qualities and having good days, it is never okay for someone to abuse another person. Abuse never gets better on it's own or just goes away, in fact, it gets worse over time, like a fire that starts out small and gradually spreads to ruin an entire building, abuse is a flammable foundation. Please respect yourself enough, even if you have lost your self-respect, to get out of a situation that leads you to feeling guilty and start working to repair the damage and pain.

Why do people who are sexually abused feel guilty?
Many people that have been sexually abused feel guilty for many reasons. They need to know that what happened is not their fault and they should not feel guilty or blame themselves for the actions of the abuser. It is very important that if you have been abused in the past or currently, you need to talk to someone that you trust so they can help you. For kids be sure that it is an adult, such as a parent, teacher, or counselor.A person can simply feel guilty because they blame themselves for being abused. An abuser is usually someone that is very good at manipulating people, and could easily make you think that it was your fault. Just remember that no matter how much they tell you that it is your fault, it is never your fault.Another reason why someone may feel guilty is that they love or loved the person that abused them such as a family member or a boyfriend/girlfriend. This can stop someone from seeking help because they would be turning in someone they love. Keeping the abuse a secret will only encourage the behavior to continue because there has been no attempt at stopping it, so get help.One of the most common reasons someone could feel guilty is that they experienced sexual arousal or gratification from the abuse. Your body responded the way it was designed to respond, which you could not control. This does not mean that you should feel ashamed of those natural feelings because again, you had no control to stop them.So remember that no matter what the circumstances were, it was not your fault and you should not blame yourself or feel guilty for something that someone else did.
How does physical abuse effect children?
It depends if the child itself was or is being abused, they will either forget it or remember it. 80% of children who were abused, still remember being abused. Physical abuse effects children by making them feel slightly depressed, or feel like they have to pretend to be normal. The 80% of children who recall being abused say they never talk about their feelings of their abuse or sadness, and say that they became so depressed, they began to have suicidal thoughts. Physical abuse can effect the child in a different way if its one of the parents being abused.

Why do victims of domestic violence stay with their abusers?
A lot of abuse victims were abused as children, so they think of it as being "normal." Another reason is that a lot of abusers are extremely manipulative. They may only start with verbal abuse, often becoming extremely apologetic afterward. They may not be frequent abusers (they'll be abusive one day, and then months go by before it happens again). Usually by the time the level and frequency of abuse increases, the abused has already been emotionally manipulated to where they feel it's their fault that they're being abused, or that they deserve the abuse. What an abuser will frequently do is isolate their victim from other people in the victim's life. By the time the victim realizes they need help, they feel they have no one to turn to. Another big reason is that, at least when it comes to emotional abuse, it can be hard to prove that you're being abused. Yet another reason is that the victim will feel extremely ashamed and not want anyone to know that they're being abused. Also another reason is that the victim may feel that if they DO try to leave their abuser, their abuser will manage to hunt them down and potentially kill them.

A female neighbor got locked out of their house and asked you to force their door open for her so should you now feel guilty that the door broke when you kicked it in and now she has to pay for a new?
I am someone who feels guilty about everything, and I would feel guilty about this too. Should you feel guilty? Yes, because you broke her door. However, should you pay for the new one yourself? No, because she asked you to do it and it was not of your own free will. It was her decision to break down the door, so you should not feel guilty enough to pay for the new one. Had you decided on your own to break the door down, then you should pay for it because it was your decision. But it was her door, her decision to break the door, and now she will pay for it.
