Why Do Some Women Return to Abusers? Doctor Shocked to Find Battered Patient Kissing Her Husband
A doctor describes walking into the ward eight hours after a police rescue to find a 26-year-old patient being fed and kissed by the same man who battered her hours earlier. The woman was brought in by police around 3 a.m. on June 15 with a dislocated shoulder, a dislocated wrist and a bleeding bite wound on her ear. Neighbours had forced the door open to rescue her, and relatives filed a report. To his shock, the patient and her husband displayed tenderness as if the violent fight had never happened. The doctor now questions why some women stay in abusive marriages and has vowed never to take sides in couples’ marital issues again.
