The article highlights the persistent nature of abuse faced by survivors of intimate partner violence even after leaving their abuser. Myriam's experience illustrates that post-separation, the abuse merely transforms rather than ceases, manifesting through harassment and manipulation. Research indicates that the period immediately following a breakup is particularly perilous, as abusers may intensify their efforts to maintain control. Despite greater awareness of abuse forms, the legal system fails to provide adequate protection for victims during this vulnerable time, leaving many like Myriam unsupported and at risk.
For many survivors of intimate partner violence, breaking up doesn't stop the abuse. Like Myriam, many find that the abuse just switches to new forms.
Research shows that the most dangerous time for a survivor is often in the weeks and months after leaving, as abusers escalate tactics after separation.
