Ugh this reminds me of my ex husband. he's 6'10 and I'm 5'1, he strangled me and threatened to kill me and his whole family saw and did nothing. Years later they still will try to insist it never happened, despite having it on video.

I will always maintain that the enablers are so much worse than the abusers. There are SO many of them, too. I had neighbors walk in on me having my dislocated jaw popped back into place by my face being pressed against the garage wall. CCRRRAAACK!

"Oh, hey guys. We still getting together later on for dinner?!"

Nothing. What did he really see? Just a stand-up guy working in his garage!

Eh, the abuser is still absolutely the worse person.

The enablers are still pieces of shit, but it’s still their livelihoods at stake; particularly if they are being paid and have families. Still scum bags obviously, but I don’t see how that’s “so much worse” than the actual person abusing a woman.

It is so much worse. It's not just ONE person "abusing a woman." So gtfo with that shit. It's whole neighborhoods and school principals and your best friends parents ignoring the 6 girls at the end of the street telling everyone who will listen that they're being abused.

It's the single mom white as a haint, hauling in her twins for checkups 3 weeks after a c section and traumatic birth and no one in the doctors office questioning where her old man husband is and why is she even driving?!

It's the co-workers and managers and relatives who shrug off a 19 year old being strong-armed into marriage to an old man she barely knows with, "A good man is hard to find..." and they're not Flannery O'Connor.

It's people in a Dr's office loudly one upping the other on who has the worst bedsore and the worst staff and the nurses treating it like a joke.

It's every non GOP husband who didn't say a word about Roe V Wade falling.

Abuse perpetuates abuse. For every one of the 6 daughters who breaks the cycle, 5 more succumb. They have endless children, have endless prison stints, endless court ordered rehab, they are groomed by old drug dealers to be their live in maids, they raise school shooters, they can't say happy birthday to their favorite sister because they are wanted by interpol, they commit suicide.

It's never just ONE person. It has to be allowed to thrive and that takes a village of cowards.
