Complex relationship between dependency and domestic violence

This article looks at the dependency financially on women or men and how that plays a valid role in domestic partnership abuse. This article also notices that dependency is only one factor of domestic abuse, and that there are many more. However, dependency is a strong factor and for that reason learning and studying this topic can help construct some necessities for these types of depending relationships, and also change some social policies. Also the need for dependency help in victimization, and letting the abuser get abuse because of the lack of “help” they are bringing to the family. I think this is interesting train of thought that women can have in staying in these relationships. If you are living off the spouse who is aggressive and violent towards you, how can you complain when your basic necessities come from him? Not true, if we think many of these women who are stay at home mothers have a bigger work than many people think. Maintaining a household is a critical and complex job, and also the idea that while you are maintaining your home you also have to make sure you look the part. Another interesting note is the fact that these women feel powerless in searching for help, and looking for authority because they feel that their financial background is not going to help them in the long run. Which I can understand this mind set especially because as the saying goes money can talk, especially if these women go for divorce and want custody of their children but there partner has a solid job and is financially stable. Although I think the way society should respond to this, is showing the stories of women who have succeed in receiving help, and separation from their domestic abuser. Overall I think my goal in understanding why women stay in domestic relationship is coming close to the end. I can see how society has constructed factors in making women think they have no choice but to stay in these unhealthy relationships.
