2. Why not leave?

While most people would agree that hurting someone is wrong and that if you are the victim of an offense, you would avoid the offender in the future. This is not always the case though. Many people stay in abusive relationships or return to abusive relationships. With children, or the elderly, it could be argued that they do not have or know of anywhere else to go, but for a capable adult, why would they stay? Present an argument, based on information from your readings, on why abused persons might stay in one of these toxic relationships.
