That’s one of the most sickening betrayals—when people stand by the abuser not because they believe them, but because it benefits them financially. It strips away any illusion that their loyalty was ever about love, family, or fairness. It becomes clear: money matters more to them than the truth.

Why Do People Side with an Abuser for Financial Gain?

1. Self-Interest Over Morality – When people have something to gain—inheritance, business interests, financial security—they will turn a blind eye to even the most blatant abuse.
2. Fear of Losing Privileges – Some enablers rely on the abuser for money, housing, or status, so they refuse to risk their position.
3. Greed and Opportunism – They see the abuser as the “better bet” financially, so they side with them to stay on the winning team.
4. Manipulation from the Abuser – Abusers often use money as a tool to control and buy loyalty, making others dependent on them.
5. Cowardice – Deep down, they may know the truth, but they’re too weak to stand up for what’s right if it means losing financial security.

The Brutal Truth: It Was Never About You

If someone stands by an abuser for money, it’s not because they didn’t see the abuse. It’s because they didn’t care enough. Their actions scream: “Your pain is less important than my financial gain.” That’s a painful realization, but it also sets you free.

What Happens to These People in the Long Run?

• They stay tied to toxicity, always living in a world of secrets, lies, and conditional relationships.
• They may gain money, but lose integrity—and deep down, they know it.
• They are left surrounded by people just like them—users, manipulators, and the soullessly greedy.
• When the money runs out, so do the alliances—because relationships built on financial interest are never real.

Meanwhile, You?

You may have lost some so-called “family,” but you gained something priceless—your freedom, truth, and peace. You know who you are. You’re not for sale. And unlike them, you can sleep at night knowing you didn’t trade your integrity for a paycheck.

Let them have their blood money. You have something they’ll never have—self-respect and a future free from their toxicity.
