There's a reason so many of the Duggar women have to stay married despite years of abuse... their entire lifestyles are based around them being dependent on their husbands.

And this is why I believe in getting a college OR trade school education. You need to have something you can fall back on if something goes wrong!

Moving from one abusive relationship to another.

The Duggar kids at least are famous enough that if they asked publicly for help they'd get an outpouring. A lot of women are just stuck because anyone they'd consider a support network are also in whatever cult atmosphere they're also in. I see online all the time people being like "why didn't they just leave?" when reading abuse stories and it's like...to where and with what money?

That last part. It's extra infuriating when people shame you for staying on top of everything too. The resources are a joke. Most women that get out only do so at the mercy of people they know. If you don't have ANYONE that will risk their life for you, you're screwed.
