There’s some statistic that 75% of women who are killed are killed by their abusive partner when they try to leave. So it sounds simple to say- just leave. But in reality, it’s not that easy.

My best friend was in an emotionally abusive marriage. I ended our friendship because I couldn’t tolerate him. I felt so guilty for abandoning her, but she’s not ready to leave him and may never leave him.
