I'm having a hard time with some of my friends. They really don't understand why I stay. I have tried to explain but I don't think they get it. Sometimes I feel they think I'm stupid for not leaving.
Your friends are giving you support disguised as advice. They care for you and want you to stop hurting NOW. The quickest way to that is not necessarily the best thing for you and your family. Just don't confuse support with advice.
