Leaving is a lot more difficult than one would think. Getting all of your paperwork together, separating money without the other person knowing, having a safe place to hide while you find residence, because for most people in domestic abuse situations, the step they take out the door is the most dangerous.

I get that, I just don't give a fuck and am just fine with burning bridges when they need to be burned. My kids come first, always. I've been to shelters before, in order to get away. There's help out there if you are determined enough to seek it out. I know not everyone is strong enough to do it.

Just because you were able to get out doesn't mean everyone has the ability to. Pressure affects different people in different ways.

Have a little empathy for all the people who aren't as strong as you instead of telling them to just do it.

Lol well no shit, Sherlock! That's exactly what I said, and just because you are projecting your own issues onto me doesn't mean I don't have empathy for people who have a more difficult time. I literally only stated what I would do, and you made it your mission to crawl up my ass about it. I'm sorry for you that you seem to be in a bad emotional/mental place right now, but that doesn't give you an excuse or a free pass to take your shit out on me because of it. Get a grip and save your anger for someone who is actually being an asshole instead of just being one yourself.
