I've observed similar situations with people taking back abusive partners.
Their self esteem is often so worn down by the relationship they truly believe they don't deserve better, and fear no one else will have them.
It's nice that my brother understands how I feel and said they might let me come stay with them after my bipolar medication gets figured out but the thing that really worries me is that I will probably be unstable while adjusting my medication and there's no telling what I will do the first time things get bad when they get back together.
The last time I went to the Crisis Center I picked up a kitchen knife and wanted to stab him. I don't think they even realized that's what I intended to do because everyone thought I was trying to stab myself but it was actually him I wanted to hurt.
