There is more to it than just leaving.
This is the most polite response to your post that I could muscle. If it was just a matter of leaving, there would not be millions of people around the world being abused. And everyone says they would leave if it was them. What you need to realize is that domestic violence takes many forms and overcoming it is about more than personal strength and personal awesomeness.
