Outside looking in.
A woman at work confided in me that her daughter is in an abusive relationship. She’s telling me all of the things that I don’t want to hear myself:
“She knows better,”
“ I don’t get it, why won’t she listen”
“Why would she be with someone who called her a cunt?”
She kicked her daughter out of the house in an attempt to make her ‘wake up.’ While I think this was the wrong decision, I can tell that she loves her daughter very much and is just at her wit’s end.
I know that people like me are difficult to love. I also know that loving me takes a toll on the people who do.
I had no words of comfort or advice to ease her mind.
