I am going back to my days of practicing as an Addiction Specialist, boy this case has really challenged going over 23 years of clients/patients.
I am having such a hard time... using clinical cases, with some of her declarations. There is a tremendously high percentage (85% - 90%) where alcohol and/or drugs are involved in abuse. Thus, I have seen a lot (more than I wish) of abused people.
I can not remember one abused person telling me they wish to stay. I always heard they would give anything to leave but I can't because I am afraid of the person's violence and/or I don't have the finances to do so.
Fear can't provoke anger.. However, Anger/rage does a pretty darn good of causing violence all by itself. The underlying emotion is fear.. Yet the coping / learned emotion that "works" is Anger/rage.
Now fear is just the opposite with less impact because fear keeps people frozen and inept. If that makes any sense.
This is an overall memory review not specifics just going over 23 years while listening to her testimony especially testifying "counseling stuff".
