Abusive Relationships

Physical and mental abuse hurt in different ways. Yes if they are beating you, you will fear for your life and it's probably safer for you to get out. I don't think I'd prefer one over the other, I wouldn't even put myself in that kind of situation.

People stay in these relationships, not really because they want a boyfriend, but because they have low self esteem. They don't feel like they can find someone better, or they make excuses up for the abuser and then tell themselves it's probably their own fault for making them angry. This is bullshit, but that's how people with low self esteem see situations. No one deserves to be in an abusive relationship, and some need help getting out. My coworker's been in an abusive marriage for several months but I'm so proud of her for getting the courage to move out. Now the guy's hospitalized so he can't hurt himself or anyone else. But if she didn't leave, he would have kept on drinking and kept on abusing her.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's really easy for people with high self esteem think that people who have none need to just suck it up. That's what you'd like to tell them, but people who aren't sure of themselves find this very difficult to do and it's frustrating for everyone to just watch. I hate people who put themselves down as though they can't do better. Then again, overconfidence is kind of irritating too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
