astrangerhere, thanks for the insights into the behaviour of abused women returning to the abuser. To those not caught up in that terrible situation it seems unbelievable, but I can see that psychologically it could well happen.
Victoria, excellent point about the strong link between the women's movement and the temperance movement, which were clearly linked in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is still very much an issue in Australia, particularly (but certainly not exclusively) in connection with indigenous communities.
