    Wow is all I can think of.....

    Someone I knew was in a very abusive relationship...it was verbally and physically rough. The abuser offered no financial support and barely had a job. The person had an opportunity to get out of the relationship, had a lot of emotional support from family and friends.

    And the surprise was? S/he stayed? That would be quite normal.

    The surprise was I quit feeling sorry for her and realized she chooses to be a door mat...feels she owes this bad joke her whole life.

    Google...."Cycle of Abuse". It happens to men also which I am currently witnessing with a male friend. He has just (this weekend) returned to an abusive relationship and believe me, she is a mean one. He thinks maybe she has changed. Again, the cycle of abuse. Makes me ill.

    Made me sick, too. Maybe that's why I don't bother with her anymore. To remain even cordial is a sign of acceptance. Didn't see my son for 6 months for the same reason. He woke up, though.

    D, she obviously doesn't know he finally kept good his word and left a few months ago. She should feel free to keep up with her latest however.....

    It's very difficult to be supportive of a person who remains in an abusive relationship. However, that is the right thing to do. The reasons people stay are many and varied.

    Being supportive of a person continuing in an abusive relationship is an endorsement and enabling.
    "He left" is not taking control of one's circumstances.
    Ducky, my answer is not intended to be taken personally by anyone here. If someone wants to do so, that's not on me.

    Looks as though this is a PERSONAL DEBATE and not an akaQA discussion!!!

    @ Bob... For those of us who pay close attention to questions, answers, and comments between Julie and you this past year, it is obvious that your answer is referring to Julie and James. I have asked both of you to stop bickering on this site and both of you were given a warning. This answer is nothing more than an attempt to antagonize Julie. This is your second warning. If it happens again, you will find yourself suspended from akaQA for a week.
