[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has shown me how completely uncomfortable people are with feelings. So many reactions are "just stop". Op, I wish I were your friend and could help shoulder your pain and be angry with you. Do you think that you changed anyone's perception of that guy when you spoke out? Did anyone have similar feelings or experiences about him?[/quote]

OP here and thank you, I appreciate it.

Sometimes I think I might have opened some people's eyes. I don't know. I got so little support (and a lot of side eye and reprobation) and was in such a dark, low place, that for my own well being I just walked away and burned those bridges. There was a period of time when it was like I was trying to convince people who I had considered longtime friends that what had happened had in fact happened, and that process was so demoralizing that I realized I had to cut my losses and get out or I would wind up hurting myself in some irrevocable way. I was tired of trying to persuade people of my own experiences and still have them dismiss them or say stuff like "you must of misunderstood" about things that it is not actually possible to misunderstand (like physical abuse).

People will blindfold themselves to the truth if it helps them avoid a single hard conversation or decision, or in any way threatens their comfort. They'll defend and protect an abuser. It happens all the time. All. The. Time.[/quote]
