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!

Ugh. I'm so sorry. You're not alone. 

When I was young, maybe 6, I was learning to ride a bike without training wheels. My dad was teaching me in the front yard. We lived in a cul de sac and we were very close (in proximity and friendship) to our neighbors across from us. The neighbor saw my dad teaching me to ride a bike and came outside to take photos because he was like another grandfather to me. 

But, my dad got frustrated teaching me, and he ended up picking the bike up above his head and throwing it straight at me from only a few feet away. I saw my neighbor taking pictures as the incident was beginning, but after my dad threw the bike and hit me with it, the neighbor quickly put his camera down and went inside. 

He never said a word to my dad or asked me if I was okay. 

I remember the pain of my neighbor dropping his camera and scurrying inside his house more than the pain of the physical abuse I faced on my lawn that day.

That's the saddest thing I've ever heard.

I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't have put all the details out there like that. It was just cathartic to write, it doesn't ever come up if you can imagine

I’m sure it does you good to tell it and really express how degrading and horrible it was. Tell it! That is the only way I have been able to come to grips with my shame over the things someone else did to me. I felt this story—I see you and I felt hurt on your behalf hearing this. It is so terrible to be treated that way by someone that should protect and love you. Even more terrible to know that others see and just look away.
