People always say "it couldn't be me" . They don't deal as it until theyre in the midst of it. Never question why they don't tell or leave the situation because they will say "I love that person or they will change. Un un no they will not. Some people are easy targets with low self esteem or have noone close to them Other times its how they portray and build themselves a front until they feel they have enough control to make the baddest person bow down . These situations are tough all the way around. And its really sad how the victims hide the abuse for whatever reason and are left to die. More people(women especially) should read these kind of stories to get info on what to and not to do in these situations. Love don't hurt like that. Awesome stories!
