In the beginning she states that everyone says "why didn't you just leave" and then continues on trying to explain why she didn't leave...the critical word here is SHE. Why did SHE not leave because almost any other woman would have left this guy long before she did. She is incredibly articulate about exactly what he did to her - objectification and so forth. However, did she really have those words when all this was going on? I am a few-to-several years older than her and highly educated. Although I would not have, perhaps, formulated this word in my mind (objectification) in my early 20s - I would not have needed it. The words YUCK and this SUCKS would have been enough for me to have left without a dime in my pocket. She wanted her motorbike before she left. She finally leaves when she can get another man who will pick her up and, basically, take care of her. Let us be clear: she objectified herself, too. I am not sure what type of relationship she had with her parents but I am absolutely sure they would rather she had walked away from the dehumanization she experienced with this psychopath. I left home when I was 17 years old. Raised a kid and got an MD degree all on my own. Life for me has not been easy on many levels but I have never stuck around for someone to mistreat me for days on end let alone years on end. She passed away in 2020 before this particular episode aired. Her ex remains on death row. Women, if there is someone who comes even a fraction close to this level of abuse: LEAVE. You absolutely can do it. I am 110% sure of it.
