I know a battered woman.
2) what are the odds that batterers counseling will work?
Don't know odds. I would think that forced counseling does not work. You must acknowledge there is or you have a problem, then seek change and help.
3) how many times does she leave and go back...(this is a gimme...I already said this)
Some never, some many. To difficult to answer as worded.
4)where is the most dangerous place for a woman to be?
In own home.
5) anyone know what the odds are that you will be attacked by an intimate as to a stranger?
High for someone you know vs stranger - 90/10?
6) why does she stay? anyone who gets this right moves immediatley to the valedictorians positon..
Lack of or low self-esteem/self worth/self confidence with feelings of powerlessness and isolation? This is too hard a question to answer in this fashion - pardon extremely short answer.
