Hi Melodie: I am sorry that those things happened to you. I am glad that you are strong and got out. I am with you in how much you care about people getting out of toxic relationships. I agree people need to leave toxic relationships. Is strength and being a warrior- only if we get out before a certain amount of time has passed or deal with the situation a certain way? Each person and our circumstances are incredibly complex: our backgrounds, families, societal, cultural, religious expectations, ect. All toxic people are different and those red flags are not always obvious. Not all of us can or will get out as fast as we need to or want to. Some never get out. All of the burden, blame and focus should always be on the toxic person. None of it should ever be on the the one that is being treated poorly. I could not do what you did. My circumstances were not like yours. I think your intention is good. But the prescription for how we should do it can't be the same for everyone. We need more voices speaking out, standing with us, caring for each other and these issues. I hope that we can connect on that.
