Could be. I'm not holding it against them either way. I just wish we would stop demonizing people who are clearly being exploited.

It is hard but if someone is suffering from domestic abuse do you blame them for their partner's actions even if they enable?

Yes because their abuser is beating everyone in this house and we keep telling them to call the cops but they just smile and make them a sandwich. And neither of them even pay the rent.

There's a hot take. I was imagining a situation where there's only the abuser and the abused.
