Why did Blanche continue to stay with her sister?


Why did Blanche keep staying with her sister when she hated her husband, Stanley? She started getting emotional and she was still tempted to stay with them. Stanley obviously didn't want her to stay with them and he showed that. He even bought her a bus ticket back to New Orleans so why did she stay??

Blanche was an irresponsible freeloader, suffering from dementia and a victim complex. Stanley was right to want her out of his house.
