I felt like this with my first husband. Its groomed into you, and you start to believe he hits you because he loves you so much. It took him hitting me in front of our son for me to snap out of it. This is why a lot of people stay. I was also told some victims of dv suffer from a type of Stockholm syndrome but there isnt a term for it. I repeat this is why they stay you can really believe this in your heart, I promise. Dont hate the victim. I still have parts of me that believe he loved me, and a huge part of me stayed because I saw him as the victim. Manipulation is powerful.
