    A lot of people have stayed in abusive relationships for that reason: “They can change! I can change them.” Meanwhile the state is rapidly moving backwards. This is like being dragged behind the abuser’s truck and not wanting to cut the rope.

      A lot of people stay in abusive relationships because they don’t have a realistic opportunity to leave. A lot of people in abusive states like Texas stay because they don’t have a realistic opportunity to leave.
