“will be rainbows and unicorns!” ???? If the abused one is relying on the only option of leaving the abuser, they are wrong. As an abused woman of 9 years, I can say that it wasn’t until I ( me, as a individual, person, people, community, whatever) was ready to be strong enough to say no more, you will not touch me again, and with a steadfastness that the abuser was able to see, that I was freed from the tyranny. As a Texan, born and raised, I am proud to be. But I do not think that leaving the union of the United States is a wise choice. We need to reel in the U.S. Federal government and stand strong in it. By the way, just because I was able to leave my abuser, my family did not fall apart.
