Are you secretly disgusted by people who return to abusive (romantic) partners?

No, I can't be disgusted by it, because I have experience in this area and know what it's like from the inside. I do feel angry when I see anyone return to an abusive relationship, but not at the abused person. It's more a feeling of frustration that you can't get them to see that there may be another option.
@SW-User ah , the frustration of wisdom.

It's hard, you can't deny them their hope , but you weep at their denial. 😞

@OogieBoogie Not only that, but some are living in situations where they have been threatened with serious *consequences* if they leave the relationship.
