Trusting Protagonist

You ever notice that in stories where a protagonist trust someone and relies on someone who's an abuser the comments always have more smoke for the protagonist than the abuser like that's weird right the way people get really really mad at protagonist who are victims of abuse for not acting like perfect victims and "being dumb" or whatever or going back to the abuser is weird like idk I'm not a survivor but I can just imagine being a survivor and reading comments of people ridiculing a character for acting in a way that they've done and honestly it's kinda messed up

People always wanna put more blame on the person who's going through abuse than the abuser choosing to mistreat someone and it's weird

    I’ve been through it and people need to realize that when it happens you are too emotionally attached to leave like your brain gaslight you into thinking its all good and the abuser knows that too so you really think « but there are happy moments » its hard and long to explain you have to live it to understand it
