<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

Most every woman in my family is in an abusive  relationship of some type. Especially my immediate family: My grandmother's husband physically tortured and raped her almost daily, my father emotionally abuses and manipulates my mother, and my sister settled for a husband who emotionally and physically abuses her regularly. I would consider all of these women strong, but yet they have settled for these relationships (I've asked them each; they all claimed to be unhappy but stay because of fear). I worry that being a strong person isn't enough, and that, despite how confident I feel now, when the time comes I'll settle for an abusive relationship as well.

After watching these women in my life constantly unhappy, depressed, or afraid, I've promised myself that I will not settle at a young age, and I'm also against the idea of marriage altogether. I have never been in a serious relationship before, and I do not plan to start dating until I finish college and have a stable career, as money is the biggest thing I see couples fighting about in my family. I also do not plan to date until I hit my goal weight and feel confident and loving towards myself, as the women I mentioned each have low self-esteem and self-worth. Basically, I don't want to start a relationship until I am entirely independent and confident in myself, so that I do not become dependent on the first person who says he/she loves me.

This is one of the topics that keeps me up every night. I would really appreciate some advice.
