It can be hard to understand why someone would stay in a toxic relationship. I have heard people say:
She/he must like it!
I don't understand why she/he won't just leave!
How stupid is she/he for staying!
He/she is so wonderful! Why are they not happy/lying about how "bad" he/she is?!
What happens behind closed doors is a mystery. Almost every family and relationship has secrets and poor behaviors are passed down from generation to generation and that can funnel down to intimate relationships. It maybe hard to wrap your mind around why someone stays if you have never been in this situation. I'm diving into why they stay on today's episode.
