How Low Self-Worth and Distorted Sense of Self Stops YOU from Leaving Abusive/ Toxic Relationships

See if you recognize someone you know in the following story: a lot of very intelligent, thoughtful and even awakened women allow behavior towards them that would make most people cringe. I was reminded of this while witnessing the following toxic relationship:

A mid 30s male came in screaming obscenities at his former girlfriend making threats and demands in front of her and her friends/family. She cowered and followed him out of the yard, trying to calm him down.

This is someone she had been in a long term relationship and even had a child with him six years ago.

She is attempting to move on and finds it hard. For most of us, it’s a no-brainer but for many men and women, letting go and moving on is incredibly hard. Have you ever witnessed something like this and don’t know what to do how to help either party?
