What do you think/say when you hear this statement made by a woman?

I'll chime in later but I want to hear your opinions on it first.
I think she grew up believing most men hit and that she was lucky to escape it. She has obviously witnessed physical abuse and it is her reality. Physical abuse and the psychological toll it takes on everyone involved creates a victim mentality and an I or she deserved it mentality. Sad point of view.
