Yes, someone was telling her story recently, and people were like “And you are still living with him, what's wrong with you.”
No one really knows how it feels until they experience it as well.
I made no comment about that, all I could do is console her, and ask her a simple yet profound question “What will you do now that you are out of his house?” “Continue crying about how much you loved him or face a new chapter of your life?”
The question may not amount to something but it made her to realize that he didn't worth her tears. It's time to move forward with her life.
Abuse is a very terrible thing.
You have written well, Tiff.
