Dating violence, a serious social problem, has commanded much attention during the last decade. This study was conducted to enhance our understanding of complex relationship and individual processes that occur in dating relationships where abuse becomes a pattern. The experiences of 11 young women who left their abusive dating relationships were analyzed using the tenets of grounded theory in a multiple-case qualitative research design. Processes of leaving included: seeds of doubt, turning points, reappraisals, objective reflections, self-reclaiming actions, last straw events and paradigmatic shifts
