People always say "just leave" when someone is in an abusive relationship. As if it's always THAT EASY

It's easier said than done for various reasons (child involved, death threats, fear, poverty). So stop saying "why couldn't she just leave?"

Unfortunately there’s a whole lot of ignorance surrounding a very complicated issue.

You're absolutely right. She or he will need a support system before any change occurs.

@XReaganX and the sad thing is sometimes when you do leave the person will still track you down and kill whether it's weeks or months or even days after. Planning to leave is something that has to be done well or else .

@DonotInboxMe yeah, especially those crazy abusive guys. I'd leave the city or state even. But there's a part of me saying, "Why the hell should I leave at all. What gives this mofo that much power?" I'd prep myself or, if this guy is a persistent asshole like harassments, I'd get his ass behind bars.

People are often thoughtless and diminish someones experience and circumstance by empty words.

high horse, glass houses, high and mighty... those type of sayings come in quite handy
typical blaming the victim

@casioBiscuit It's annoying. Especially if you've never been in such a situation , can't judge.

While you are correct, if you are not doing anything to help yourself out in that situation then you allow yourself to become a victim. That situation is never an easy fix but are you actively trying to find a way out? If not, then thats on you. If so, then all respect to you for trying

Some of them even tell you to leave them alone and mind your business 🤷
DonotInboxMe · 26-30, F
@Prettybrat that's some. But they need help nonetheless
