This brochure outlines the reasons why a survivor may struggle with leaving an abusive relationship.

People in abusive relationships are often afraid to stay because they do not want themselves or their children to be hurt or killed. They are also afraid to leave due to abusers' threats to find them, hurt and/or kill them and/or their children.

This 32 page booklet addresses how to respond when someone discloses they are experiencing abuse. It includes basic information, biblical reflections, guidelines for response, suggestions for prevention and additional resources and is intended for church leaders.
