I agree with the article when the author explains that there are different types of abuse: physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, sexual, and stalking. The article really helped me understand that victims of domestic violence usually stay in the relationship because they think there is no help for them. Additionally, the article explains the effects victims experience when they experience or live under domestic violence. I personally suffer from depression and PTSD, but I receive appropriate treatment and support from many family, friends, and counselors who have helped me think through this experience. I also don't agree with the article because the article doesn't explain how the culture of honor affects many women in the world. Furthermore, the article does not explain learned helplessness theory when explaining why victims of domestic violence do not leave the home
