Why...

Why is it so hard to leave a verbally abusive relationship? How after years of being torn down and degraded? How do I still let him tell me I’m stupid and worthless and fat and disgusting, that I’m useless and nasty and dumb? Why do I let him call me a bitch and a dumb cunt and a fucking idiot almost daily? I wish I could leave. I wish I was brave. I wish it was easy. It’s not.
