A lot of abuse victims do not want to advertise the fact that they have been abused for a lot of reasons (stigma, Stockholm like syndrome of not wanting to cause problems to their ex, believing that the abuse their fault) and will divorce without officially saying that it&#x27;s due to abuse.<p>Abusive relationships do not only create physical injuries but also psychological injuries and when someone decides to leave an abusive relationship and divorce, it&#x27;s not necessarily easy for them to come to terms with what happened.
