Posted by nikkistarYou do not have to relate, what Elly and I have shared thus far is that there are those who were stripped. We were merely sharing another possibility.Posted by TheLadyScorpioWithout divulging my history, abusive relationships come in all forms. Not only romantically, but familiar as well.
You are relating to it from a perspective of one who is sane and probably had a healthy history prior to the abusive relationships.
As what Elly said, for some, especially for those who have only lived in abusive environments. They cannot see the forest for the tree, they have no cognitive capabilities. It was stripped from them, it would take therapy before they could ever work through that fog, to be able to differentiate from what is wrong and what is right.
You're talking to a chick that witnessed her grandmother's leg shot off with a shotgun because she dared to leave an abuser. And that is just one of many scenarios I have witnessed, or was directly involved in.
And I still can't relate to this OP.click to expand
