Victim blaming is real

Why do people always blame the victim for staying with abuser like it's already hard to leave, I wish it was more support. I left by luck. I just want to know how is the victim is dumb and crazy for staying, but never the abuser get call names.

Because they dont understand or have ever been in that situation.

Plus, i imagine, they get sick of hearing some people complain about their awful situation, while never doing anything to fix it or leave it.

From the outside, they see it from the strength of their position, rather than the worn down, scared, and isolated view of the opressed.

Even as one who has been there, i can get frustrated with some still in this position.
Its a sad truth that some people become so broken, their victimhood has BECOME their identity.😞
