The Fear of Being Free

We often ask,
"Why didn't they just leave?"
It's a natural question,
But it's the wrong one.
Abuse rarely announces itself
As a single, escapable event.
It's a slow erosion involving a cycle of
Tension, violence, apology, and false hope
Repeated over and over
Until the mind adapts to survive it.
What looks like passivity from the outside is
Exhausted vigilance on the inside.
When abuse continues unchecked, and
People think leaving is more dangerous than staying
The real shift can only happen
When we stop asking why they hurt others
And start asking "how can I be free?!"
