I Hate Guys Who Hit Women

I think we've all known at least one person who's been in a relationship like that who we wish we could help. At the end of the day, there isn't much we can do but that doesn't stop us from wishing we could.

I can't believe the number of women who actually STAY with abusive partners... Or have a long list of abusive partners because they always go for the same 'type'. 🙄

@Quizzical from watching people I care about who I consider to be strong women, I think there is a heavy dose of fear on them if they leave. It breaks my heart but all I can do is watch from a distance.

@TRell We have a family friend who just seems to be an asshole magnet. Time and time again she find these abusive men... In her case I think a lot of it has to do with her insecurity and lack of self worth though. She doesn't actually think she can do any better even though she is a lovely and attractive women. ☹

@TRell you can call 911 instead of watching it from a distance.

@Quizzical I'm still in high school but I've had several friends I wish I could help. Where I live, not a lot of good would happen from calling the cops. Plus think about how every time something like this happens, the girl lies about it out of fear
