[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it was a victim of Domestic Violence - absolutely. I really detest people who avoid victims of DV because they fear that their safety will be in jeopardy if they have anything to do w/the victim. I remember when I was in a DV situation - I had actual friends who refused to even hang out w/me during that time which hurt me so much. Mostly because it was a time when I really needed a support system and felt like they had let me down. 😞 I even had a restraining order in place against my ex but “friends” were still afraid. The loneliness + isolation was just another way my abuser was able to gain control it seemed. I hate victim blaming and shaming…..[/quote] Fear that being around a DV victim could place you in physical harm due is not victim blaming or shaming. While it’s understandable that this may have been hurtful, it’s also not unreasonable of your friends to be fearful.[/quote]
