I would imagine he is treating her very nicely now. Even in physical abuse situations between husband/wife there is something called the honeymoon phase. It occurs after an assult happens. He is REALLY sweet to the woman for a while. All loving, does the dishes, buys flowers, etc. He's the perfect guy. He is sort of "courting" her.

She WANTS him to be that guy, and she doesn't want to remember what happened. She wants to be loved again. Who doesn't? So she let's herself forget and falls into the fantasy he has built that everything is OK.

But the truth is...he has set things in place for the cycle to continue. For the next time to occur, because he has learned that he can get away with it.

Also please consider that if he leaves you alone, the next child might be even younger than you. This man needs help to stop before he gets sicker.

Please oh please reach out at school and talk to someone.
