From the Paper:

"One of the issues facing this counselor is that Ms. X still considers her abuser her boyfriend and is ambivalent about breaking up with him, stating that she loves him and knows deep down that he really loves her, that he always apologizes after he beats her and that she knows she can change him. As this is a classic scenario of most victims of domestic violence, it is hoped that after spending several days at the safe house, which Ms. X stated she would do until she was able to return to work when her wounds healed sufficiently, that she will realize her life is really in danger should she allow the abusive relationship to continue.
