The victim has been taught and believes to be powerless, and therefore views the situation from that perspective. The batterer frequently threatens to take the children away from the victim if the victim leaves, and the victim believes the batterer. The victim believes law enforcement and judicial authorities in some jurisdictions may not take domestic violence seriously, hence the victim believes the batterer is often not punished or removed from the victim.
Often the batterer is violent only with the victim and frequently concludes there is something wrong with the victim. The victim may have no idea that services are available and may feel trapped.
The battering takes place during a relatively short period of time. Afterwards the batterer may be quite gentle, apologetic, loving, and may promise never to beat the victim again.
The victim may be convinced that this beating will be the last. Obsessiveness about Partner or Family — A batterer who is obsessive about their partner, who either idolizes and feels that they cannot live without their partner or believes they are entitled to their partner no matter what because they are their spouse, is more likely to be life-endangering.
