Most can’t comprehend the deep damage this type of abuse causes, and won’t accept that it can happen in a Christian marriage/ family. Unknowly, many people isolate the emotionally abused spouse even more when they finally share their pain and reach out for help. The common response to the victim is “pray and stay” for the family’s sake. As you pointed out, often times that’s what they’ve been doing…some for 10, 20 even 30 years.
