Back in college, I had a girlfriend, but people always complained she had a very bad character and behaviour.
Anyway, that might be true because, in some instances, she raised her voice at me and got angry for almost nothing, but I kept going to her.
I loved her smile and our conversations are always entertaining and engaging. And I always want to be on her side
But Wait 😭 That's how you develop Stockholm syndrome a condition or theory that tries to explain why hostages sometimes develop a psychological bond with their captors
but let's expand this a little bit because this is not a situation of hostage and capture situations but rather the Start of an abusive relationship.
But The truth about abusive relationships is that in the long run, you develop a kind of bond with your abuser, therefore, making it difficult for you to quit such relationships.
Others might think that you are insane not to quit such a relationship.
You might also think that you are insane, but this is more than that. It's a huge psychological problem when that bond is fully developed. Therefore, you can't quit such a relationship.
But what you might do is think that with time, things will get better; therefore, you are stuck in an abusive relationship.
The whole point of this write ✍️ up is when you see people stuck in an abusive relationship always show them love and support and look for ways to make them see the importance of getting out of such relationships
that way, you are not trying to force them out, but showing them their safety and peace of mind is more important than whatever bond they are tied to.
