    Again, assume she has the same lack of choice. What should she do? Why does that differ from what we should do?

      If she has the same lack of choice, she should absolutely choose the lesser evil for now and do what she can to rectify the situation after. She can bide her time with the “nice guy” while devising a plan of escape. If she gets stuck with the the abuser, she very well may not survive long enough to make the attempt.

      You’re right, it doesn’t differ from what we should do: mitigate damage now to buy time to develop more meaningful solutions.
