Helplessness - where does it come from and why?When a man hits a woman, a lot of people judge the woman. They say things like: why doesn’t she just leave him, this is totally stupid. But the reality is most of the times she CAN NOT, and the cause for her “
immaturity” has a scientific explanation called “learned
helplessness” If a children’s parents beat them, morally abused them (humiliated them, raised them like tyrants), they got gradually used to enduring such relationship, because what other choice did they have?

keep enduring the suffering”.
