About This Quote

This quote is one of the best examples of truth in advertising. So many women are duped into thinking that they are running away from an abusive relationship, when in fact, they are running toward it. Some women, instead of fighting for their lives, cater to the abuser’s desires and try to ignore or soften the pain of his abuse. This only leads to more abuse.

If you want to escape physical abuse, you have to make it known that you are not interested in being hit by your boyfriend. If you don’t do this, the abuser will continue to hit you.
