I'm sorry you've been getting so much bullshit for this. People with half a fucking brain should realise that if it was so easy to get out of abusive situations there wouldn't be so fucking many of them. Everyone thinks "oh, I could do it", and it's bullshit.

You're not weak. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You're surviving, and you're trying, and that's all you can do. It's not fair that you're being put through this. I hope you're able to find some way out.

When I was young, I was emotionally abused. I used to pretend that I was a fictional character, my own or someone else's, and it go me through the day because it meant I was strong, above this, better than this. It's nothing to be ashamed of, not if it keeps you going.

Good luck, and take care.

Yeah, hi, one of those people calling #20 a spineless twit here.

I don't just think I could do it. I did do it. It's not easy. You think everything the sorry motherfucker did to you is your fault. And for months or maybe years afterward, you wonder what you did to make them so mad and if you should have done anything differently. And then there's realizing that no, it wasn't your fault, that guy was just a fuckhead, and then worrying that the next one's going to do exactly the same thing.

So I can dig the retreating into an imaginary character to escape, but that's not going to do shit in the long term. The sooner she grows some balls and does what really needs to be done--getting the fuck away from the abusers--the better off she'll be.

But hey, if she just wants to mope around pretending she's a wizard and go "poor me, I am so helpless, there is nothing I can do about it, baw baw baw," that's her business.

tl;dr: been there, done that, have no sympathy for anyone who refuses to deal.
