My theory is that people in those relationships must, in a way, actually like that sort of drama! Either that or someone is being too cowardly. Sometimes I feel like my mom just needs more courage because she's always saying how "she doesn't want a relationship like she had with my dad" but then here she is, married to someone else who isn't much better. I really don't understand.
Well...I guess I kind of understand since I was once in a similar situation with relationships...I don't know, I get abusive relationships are hard to leave but Mom's always upset and crying about the way she's treated and I always tell her that that "relationship" isn't worth it, but that doesn't do it for her. She's been on a breaking point so many times, though, so I don't know why she hasn't fully snapped out of this relationship yet.
It's just sad to see how she isn't taking the best care of herself because she's sacrificing herself for someone who never really seems to care if we're even dead or alive.
I know you've had your own share of issues lately so don't feel pressured to give any advice or anything! I just needed a chance to talk these things out, so thanks for listening!
