friendlyangryfeminist:

see people keep saying “no strong woman would stay in an abusive relationship” but I keep hearing “please, put arsenic in my coffee” 

Strong people stay in abusive relationships all the time, for all kinds of legitimate reasons. Abuse isn’t always physical or even obvious. Sometimes it’s the backhanded compliment or the quiet implications that seem unintentional until you realise your partner has made the same one fifty times now. Strong people can get sucked further into abusive relationships because they feel they can use their strength to handle the abuse until it stops, or to help their abusive partner get healthy.
