dc.description.notesThe nature of domestic violence allows expressions of love and periods of affection where the level of abuse is low. This paper explores the interaction between love and abuse within abusive relationships. Thirty women aged between 17 and 69 years were recruited from agencies that support women who experience domestic violence to participate in this study. The processes of attachment to and detachment from their violent partners were analysed. Most women continued to have loving feelings for their partners after the emergence of physical and emotional abuse. Women felt responsible for and justified the abuse. After the first incidents, ninety-one per cent of the women believed that the situation would improve. In the last year of the relationship, most women reported that there was no more love between them and their partners. It is concluded that women tend to leave their partners when the level of violence increases or the claims of love from their partners decrease.en
