    He definitely should have left years ago, but I have sympathy for anybody caught in the clutches of an abuser, always catching glimpses of the wonderful person they used to be and hanging on promises that they’ll do better. But that day never comes. Things have been bad for a while and you know it, but they don’t seem that bad because it was always a little at a time and you’d get used to it. All of your other relationships have suffered, so this is all you have left to cling to. You just want to make them happy and have them love you again.

    If you don’t understand, I hope you never do.
