She's not "running away", she's protecting herself from abuse... Why must everyone on this forum characterize self defence and protection as if its some sort of act of aggression?
If someone takes a swing at me in a bar are you gonna tell me to just stand there and keep letting him hit me?
This is your idea of healthy advice?
Well, from where I sit, it is more like this: (using your bar analogy)
If a highly emotional friend came to me in a bar with a story about someone else, I am not going after that person until I get some real facts. After she calms down. I am not going to defend someone if I am not completely sure they need to be defended.
The questions I asked in a previous post were valid. I don't know how asking a poster to clarify is coddling, btw.
Marmie, good luck to you. I hope you will continue to fill in the blanks so that you can get the guidance you need.
