Marang Private Practice

Not every woman stays because she doesn’t know better.

Many stay because they have already calculated the risk of leaving.

For some, leaving means escalating violence. It means threats to kill them, take the children, destroy their livelihood, or make them disappear. Some have been told, “If you leave, you’ll never see your children again.” Others know that the most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is often when they try to leave.

So they remain. They endure the fear, the control, the isolation, and the abuse, carrying the weight in silence because they believe staying gives them the best chance of protecting their children.
