Do you remember when Rihanna got beat up? Well if you don't, her boyfriend did this to her, of course what she did afterwards was to dump him! Well, one might think this is the obvious thing to do! but in fact, a lot of women around the world are in an abusive relationship, but are not able to leave their husbands! This might be due to Learned Helplessness!
Take for example Women A...she is mentally healthy and physicall healthy. One day bob comes from work, he is stressed out and had a couple of drinks. He beats Woman A, just for asking why he was home so late, this same behavior goes on for a couple of weeks, then years, and finally a lifetime. She learned that she could not leave Bob, and decided to stay with him and support her abuse. Learned Helplessness makes a normal human being loose their self-esteem and even might lead to sever depression! If you feel that you are a victim of Learned Helplessness read more in the following websites, to inform yourself about this dangerous and SAD condition.
Don't give up! FIGHT IT!
