my aunty left my uncle and he nearly killed her she now has 32 metal plates holding her face together, originally 40. both lungs punctured and every rib broke she now suffers COPD and emphysema.
shes had to have skull and rib used to rebuild her nose and will have to have her rib cage replaced with a mesh type product as her ribs are that badly broken as she ages they bones will shrink and crush her lungs unless its done.
shed been with him 28 years and left and he knew she wasn't going back.
he was a very sick man though but it can and does happen. iv asked her why she stayed for so long and she said a)she was to scared to leave as he had told her he would kill her and b)she thought she loved him.
i think there are so many reasons a woman stays and its not anyone's place to judge unless they have walked a mile in their shoes.
my uncle committed suicide after leaving my aunty to die for 37 hours after the attack.
i think alot of abusers know how to hide it extremely well.
