Description
Summary:	Using a qualitative, hermeneutic, phenomenological research design, meaningful life experiences of women who have left abusive relationships were interpreted through life patterns. This design was used to develop a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon as a whole. Gaps in the literature at the time of my research had established the need to identify meaningful patterns of lifetime experiences associated with women who leave their abusive partners, specifically focusing on childhood and the timeframe after leaving the abusive relationship. The approaches of Max Van Manen and Margaret Newman were applied to interviewing, data collection, and analysis of data.
