Have you ever known someone in a physically abusive relationship?

Did it kill you to see them trying to survive in it?

Yes. After about 6+ years of it. I eventually had to cut myself away from them. I couldn’t live with the idea of seeing them in a coffin, knowing I was a part of normalizing their toxic relationship. I got a lot of shit for doing that & really still do. But sometimes you can’t help & when it becomes too much, you have to worry about yourself too.
Never doubt that you did the right thing. Standing by while someone isn’t ready to break the cycle is normalizing the dysfunction whether people are aware or not.@Mrsbetweenfatandfit

@AnonymouslyYours thank you for saying that. You’re the first person comment but to not insult me when I’ve said it.
