My Verbally Abusive Marriage

I think people in general view victims of abuse as being uneducated and monetarily disadvantaged. I mean, why else would a victim stay with her abuser? If she was smart, she’d just leave; if she had access to money, she’d pick up and go, right?

Why in the world would she stay with an abusive mate?

I have my answer for that, and so do you. We don’t stay because we’re dumb or uneducated. No one reading this blog is staying because we don’t know what’s happening to us.

We stay for varying reasons, but none of them are because we’re too ignorant to leave.

C. Anne shared her story with the Break Your Silence, and I am so very happy that she did! C. Anne smashes the stereotype of “poor and uneducated” to smithereens. At least, she breaks some people’s stereotype…you and me know better.
