The majority of abusers are related to the victims. However, senior citizens and kids are often abused by non-relatives. Girlfriends or boyfriends can be abused by their loved one. Disabled people can be abused by anyone and be unable to defend themselves. Students can be abused or military servicemen can be abused by others.
Sadly, the abuse of others is on the rise (well it is more like a case of reporting or discovering the problem is on the rise).

How can a victim leave an abuser with no money?
* Most victims of abuse just want to leave with the clothes on their back and are not worried about leaving their abuser penniless. The abuser has taken everything from their victim ... their dignity; peace of mind; brain washed them into believing no other man would want them and they are useless and will never make it out in the world on their own; alienated them from their family and friends and controlled all money issues in the relationship. If there are children involved then the best you can hope for is child support and that would have to go through the courts. Victims of abuse generally want no part of their abuser and will do anything to stay completely away. The victim should seek help from Women's Abuse Centers to find a 'safe place' until they can get on their feet. These centers give moral support; programs about victims of abuse; go to court with them; help with any children the victim may have and help them find a job. If you are smart you'll head out the door and never look back and not look for revenge because the abuser always loses in the end ... they hang themselves with their own rope.

People do not cause their own abuse, and attempting to blame it on the victim instead of the abuser is absolutely unacceptable.
