I wish I could heart this message a thousand times. Women are the "biggest enablers of abuse" and that is true. We always makes up excuses for abusive behaviours. We die in silence and pretend everything is normal on the surface.
I thank God I got rid of that part of my life. When you depend on someone for your happiness and upkeep, you lose your free will.
I hope most women trapped with an abuser can learn to recognise the strength they possess and say goodbye to good riddance.
