Dear Someone: The woman in a toxic relationship isn't stupid. She isn't blind.

Read this if you're in a toxic relationship, struggling to leave despite knowing you should, or if you've ever wondered why someone stays in a harmful situation when they shouldn't.

Dear, Dear Someone, _

There's a misconception that often floats around in hushed whispers and judgmental glances. It's the idea that a woman who stays in a toxic relationship must be naive, weak, or foolish. But I'm here to tell you a truth that many fail to see: She is none of those things. She is aware, she is strong, and she is fighting a battle that few can comprehend.
