Why We Stay

Why We Stay

This collage represents all the various reasons someone decides to stay in an abusive relationship. The phrases are surrounded by flowers, which depict the way a victim uses these excuses to justify and defend the abusive relationship, making the relationship seem perfect to friends and family.

-- Danielle Murray, JD 2007

NB: One of our assignments was to complete a reflection project, which could be non-legal, personal reflections based on your interest in domestic violence issues. This project was intended to help tie together the domestic violence issues with our own personal development as a lawyer, and to reflect on those connections in a way to foster our personal and professional development.
