    So can alcoholics. So can drug users. So can obese people. So can people in abusive relationships.

    Walking away is rarely as simple as it sounds, and it’s typically better to have empathy and offer support rather than dismiss them.

      Obesity is primarily genetic so yeah most likely a different story there. Nonetheless I’ve had the rest of all those. Hardest is probably the abusive relationship, but for me that’s because I was very young and the guy was quite a bit older and a decently skilled manipulator.
