Before I left my ex I got a lot of “leave or leave us out of it” sentiment from friends & family & I’d never felt more isolated in a time where I needed people most. I was well aware I was in a horror movie, but I was in no place to escape it.

YES and I want people to stop saying “leave him or leave us out of it.” It’s such a strange comment trend. Like no I don’t want women to suffer in silence

It’s a hot take but it’s why I’m tired of people using the term bird because not only are they using it incorrectly and half of them don’t even know the actual definition but it’ll literally be a video of a woman that is obviously being treated horribly and she hasn’t even defeated this man in the comments, but the top comment will say that she’s a bird and the second one will say leave him or leave us out of it. They aren’t even giving people time to talk about what they’re going through before they start shitting on them. And then they wonder why people stay in these toxic relationships, but it can take at least seven times for someone to leave and it doesn’t help when someone says leave him or leave us out of it. It’s actually quite hateful.

this is why it's sooooooo important to remain friends with people when they're in abusive relationships. this is when a person most needs support from loved ones

Agreed but I also can’t blame people for wanting to keep a distance considering it can put them in harms way depending on how the person in the relationship feels

hindsight is 20/20. You can't see the situation for what it turned out to he until it turns out to be

the conversation around watching a loved one go through abuse is so complex and nuanced, but it feels like a lot of people want to boil it down to exactly one right answer. The idea of "leave or shut up" has really allowed people to look away from these situations when there may be something deeper going on. Of course some people aren't being abused when they post/discuss a bad partner, but compressing a wide range of experiences into a slogan isn't the answer

head injuries are common in DV, and they take the ability to form, hold onto, and execute plans effectively. the physical trauma to the brain makes the neurological processes to escape it more difficult.

Fighting for your literal life at the end of that horror movie and then reflecting and realizing that it was a horror movie the whole time is a deeply destabilizing event. ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹

like why would someone act like they're in a horror if they think they're in a rom-com?

Much like I do not like watching horror movies, I do not like hearing about people’s relationships because I do not like how people complain about and then defend the bad behavior. But I’m not going to say they are bad people.

People also act as if abusive relationships start out abusive. It usually starts out charming, sweet, and like the best thing thats ever happened to you. It starts as a rom-com and ends as a horror

it's more complicated than a horror movie where there's some scary monster who you don't care about and you just want to escape. just cuz someone's abusive doesn't mean you don't love them and care about them. they're a person, not a monster. we didn't just evolve to drop people like it's nothing, even when we know the situation isn't okay

People also need to remember that you probably don't have the same set of choices as another person.
I was in a very abusive relationship for a very long time, I lost friends over it. But those friends who walked away from me had a mother to give them advice, I lost my mom when I was a teenager. I was literally driving my life blind. No, the choices I made weren't great, but I did pick the best of the bad choices that I had.

that's why is so frustrating when we try to point out the smaller red flags and people say it's not that deep it's not that serious. yes, that's the POINT. the POINT is that right NOW these red flags are SEEMINGLY insignificant because the abuser WANTS you to dismiss them.
