Luisa responded, “The women take action and the guys realize that they are going to lose the women. So the guys act all sweet, like they’ve changed, and women want that. But women can avoid it by joining support groups and taking domestic violence classes. There they can learn the signals and red flags because they learn the behavior of abusers.”
"It’s like a woman who is walking towards a hole. She sees the hole. She knows it’s there. Well eventually she is going to fall in that hole. Women also go back because they are embarrassed to tell family about their situation, and also because they are afraid financially. Religion and culture is another reason. Some Latino women see abuse as a normal part of life. But I know that God disagrees with the abuse.”
