mmmm, I wish <3 <3 <3
love Jake Gyllenhaal :o:o:o
Oh, but fantastically, I'm not just following examples now, I WORKED OUT THE THEORY BEHIND IT :) It's all ok!
Yes, I understand your point and if they are in that situation they do indeed have no one to blame but themselves.
Yes, this does apply to me, I am a fuckwit, lol.
I did not say it's impossible, and I was not relating it to this story. Just explaining that it's not as easy as many who have not experienced such situations think. And even those who have, just because they were strong enough to stand up for themselves doesn't mean all women are as capable.
You are still overlooking the fragile emotional state these women are in. This can't be so easily rationalised. Abused people do not make the most logical decisions.
As much as you hate me using myself and my life (I'm tiring of it too), I've been in a similar situation with my family. My dad...
AVO's are not always particularly effective. I have friends who's exes have also hunted them down when they've moved and changed all contact details, with the police having no interest in helping.
It's not so easy forming a new support network. You don't just magically do this, especially...
I actually wasn't likening it to the situation in Afghanistan, that is truly horrific, I was responding to Shane's joking around.
The point is that they are NOT always mentally capable of leaving such a situation and they don't always know that there is support out there.
Could be many things:
-violence
-further emotional abuse
-loss of support mechanism if he has gone to the point of isolating her from her support network
-could be financial reasons, further complicated if there are children involved
etc
but then they wouldn't feel mistreated and get depressed, which they do, if they were emotionally designed to be so?
Poor job at aggravating, try again Shane.
