To the friend who said, “Stop hating each other,” I ask you to pause and look deeper. Look at the last six months:
- Repeatedly broken restraining orders.
- Mounting debts ignored.
- Refusals to pay for anything, leaving me to pick up the pieces.
- My constant efforts to protect myself from further harm.
Where exactly is the hate coming from my side? Standing up for myself, setting boundaries, and refusing to tolerate abuse isn’t hatred—it’s survival.
Some people need to open their eyes to the truth. Who is the one disregarding the law? Who is the one refusing accountability? Who is the one denying their involvement with the friend that enabled this chaos?
It’s easy to call for peace when you’re not living the reality, but real peace doesn’t come from sweeping abuse under the rug. Real peace comes from facing the truth, holding abusers accountable, and refusing to let their actions go unchecked.
So, to those quick to judge: look beyond the surface. The one full of hate isn’t the one fighting to rebuild their life—it’s the one actively trying to destroy it.
