"Why didn’t your mom leave him?”
“You know, it always amazes me that that's the first question people ask. As if the blame lies on my mom and not on the man responsible.

The blame always gets put on the victim or victims. Why is that? It's because, society never wants to accept that monsters are real - just weak women."
