Something I wrote to a woman in an abusive marriage who publicly asked why do we stay?

We stay because we forget our own value we stay because we believe in the promises we made we stay because we believe for one reason or other that there is no other way we stay because we don't know if someone else will ever love us and we stay because we don't know what else to do because that world is our perceived reality I had a similar situation it was years ago but I can't say I'm over it I think it would be a mistake for me to forget what that was but when you go....for good ....and get a new reality ...and learn or re-learn your value others will see it ten fold and while that can be overwhelming its a good over whelming it helps to throw yourself into something else too so that you're not thinking about all that's involved with what you left behind you may be surprised how you'll feel and what you can do when you realize your freedom
