[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you need anyone else to support or understand your choices? You left, good for you. You don't need to justify that to anyone. Stop needing the approval of others. Do what you need to do.[/quote]

I hear you. It would just be nice for my mother, for example, to empathize with what I've experienced. Her official take is she hasn't taken a side. It's painful and it would be nice to have people in my corner.

I think it can be a difficult position for those who were close to both to you and your ex.  Especially if the breakup is fairly new, they may be thinking that you're badmouthing your spouse now, but one day you may possibly get back together again, and then you’ll think badly of them if they spoke negatively of your partner.  Or you may blame them for not speaking up about any bad behavior they saw sooner. So they just choose to keep quiet instead.

There still is also a lot of ignorance about what abuse is.  And for people who have never been through it, maybe they just don’t know what you need.[/quote]
