12. I've counseled a fair number of women due

to domestic violence incidents. Initially, they makes excuses, rationalize etc. Then there’s the one thing that just flips the switch for them. Interestingly, it’s not always a particularly violent incident it’s the one thing that shows them he doesn’t care for them at all. They were willing to stay if he really truly loved them, once it becomes clear he doesn’t they see the past for what it was. I think for a lot of people Twitler’s cavalier attitude about so many people dying is the thing that flips the switch. It’s not about it being his fault, it’s about him not caring. They convinced themselves he cared about them and now they see he clearly doesn’t. Once that illusion is shattered there’s no going back.
