Heythere

This is great. I wonder though why it’s protected behind a paywall? Shouldn’t this type of episode be released to everyone? It’s a wonderful episode, with really helpful info and you guys asked really good questions that I myself have had and didn’t know the answers to. Please don’t gate keep this information!

Heythere

Oh I didn’t realize you could release free content on Patreon. I wonder how many other people also don’t know this.

First, I would like to thank you guys for this episode. It hit very close to home for me rn as it is very topical for my personal experiences at the moment. Second, I would like to expand upon the friend thing/why people don't leave. I recently saw a popular tik tok going around about how this girl was annoyed her friend wouldn't leave/stop talking about her constantly cheating & emotionally abusive boyfriend. The conclusion she came to was being in the middle of that situation was draining for her and she distanced herself from her former friend. Which honestly would have been fine if she said something like, "I wish her healing and hope she's able to leave," but no, she was like, "I hope they get married and he abuses her forever." The comments echoed the sentiment. I would have wrote it off as a one off but I saw it stitched with a similar story, plus I have similar experiences in my own life. The point I'm making from that ^ As someone who has been on the other side, and honestly, wants to say I'm out but it's always hard to say that you are for sure. One of the biggest holds an abuser has over their victim is the isolation. I think thats like, one of the first things they try to do. And your friends versus your significant other, feeling like you constantly have to defend someone... eventually when people leave you, which they have rights to do, it leaves you alone with your abuser, which is what they wanted. It's obviously no one's job to save you, but I felt like for so long, and honestly sometimes even now, that my abuser was my only best friend. And so when you don't have anyone to confide in but that person because everyone is so tired of listening to you talk with no action, what are you going to do but stay? That's what she meant by consistency and solid friendship, but I thought it might help to hear the thought process behind it. Obviously you might think. "Well I'm her friend, don't I count?" But if they live together and you don't live there, the isolation she may feel with him, versus other friends... your entire identity becomes someone else. I'm sort of just rambling now because this episode unlocked a lot of feelings. Thank you guys for this. It really meant a lot. I hope what I wrote makes sense sort of
