No one deserves to be in an abusive relationship, but sometimes it's difficult for people to separate their feelings from the facts. There are some people who seem to attract abusive people, and end up in multiple relationships like that.

@BizSuitStacy I’ve read in depth about this. It seems that the abused, who must find coping mechanisms to deal with the incredible stress.

Especially soon after an abusive relationship, the victims telegraph their psychological wounds by timid posture, not making eye contact, and so on. And there are plenty of predators who are eager to take over. It’s much like a person imprisoned for 20 years fears release because prison is all they know.
