Dontcha just want to slap some sense into them? In what world does running away solve the problem? This isn't rocket science.
I think naive women run in our family. I think we have a tendency to believe in the wrong people or, in some ways, I see how I created a self-fulfilling prophecy by putting my H up on a pedestal and trusting every little thing he did--not trusting my own instincts and demanding some truth and respect. Still, maybe I didn't ask because I knew I wouldn't get it.
My H is very damaged. I see that now. My mom's situation helps me see how blind I've been myself. As a kid, I wished, more than anything, for my mom to be able to stand on her own two feet without a man propping her up and treating her badly. Maybe I'm getting a chance to be that woman myself.
Will see.
