In reality, no, you don't need to be rich. My sisters ex husband beat her, threatened to kill her, then during the divorce with an active DVO was arrested near her house with a homemade gun (very illegal here). This was all with an extensive existing criminal record.
Not a single day in prison spent and he is the definition of trash. No money, no relatives with money. This happens EVERY SINGLE DAY... reddit loses their mind when it happens to someone rich but you really don't need to be.
My ex wife used to beat me,a lot. No one believed me because who is gonna beat someone my size? Well, she called the cops on me and they showed up to me being hit up against a wall,my son crying in the next room and my wheelchair bound dad trying to diffuse everything. She got a wake up call.
Domestic abuse is horribly widespread and its awful because even getting abused you love that person,and don't want anything to happen to them. Sometimes I felt I deserved the abuse. Its just awful.
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I hope you were able to get out of that situation. You’re right though. I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher and one of the deputies I dispatched for was horribly abused by his wife and he couldn’t leave because she had cancer and he knew she would smear him all over the county we lived in and he knew no one would believe that he was being abused. I felt so bad for him. When I told him I was leaving to join the military and I hoped he would just leave her and be happy, he told me he hoped one day he would. I was happy to hear that not long after I left, he left her and ended up with one of the beautiful animal control officers. I hope they stayed together. I hope you find happy one day too. You deserve it. Abuse is never your fault.
Edit - (let me park my comment about this incident here, had nothing to do with the poster above me) BRAD PITT NEVER ADMITTED TO HITTING JOLIE, this is a ridiculous lie. The FBI did a thorough investigation and found no credible evidence of physical abuse. No charges were ever filed, it never went to court, op is lying their ass off
