It's not as simple as nipping the problem in the bud, most of the time. As the columnist below me suggested, there are other, more complicated emotional manipulations and psychological addictions going on and playing into the decisions that are being made (or not being made). If you love someone and they hurt you, your first reaction isn't normally to run - it's to brush it off as a one-time thing, or an accident. Victims justify the abuse ("He/she didn't mean it, he/she just had a bad day"). Abusers whittle the victim's self-esteem and confidence away until they have no choice but to believe the abuser when they say "it's your fault you're in this situation! If you had just done what I said, this wouldn't have happened."
My response for the previous other question is long, but please read it. If you have any other, more specific questions about abusive relationships and their mechanics, let me know - I'd love to share the info I have.

The person (the abuser) will build their victim onto a throne. make them feel loved. even slowly isolate them from people they are close too. they will treat them like they are the greatest thing ever and then they will totally change and make them feel completely worthless, trapped, not worthy of even trying to be with someone else. And that's hard for anyone whether violence is involved or not. Knowing that one day someone who means so much to you is making you feel like the light in their life and then within a second watching that same person treat you like a cockroach. And after they do that, they apologize and make you feel great again. But some people do get out before it gets this bad. to those ones. they are lucky.
