Pardon me, I need a few minutes to HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS.

YES. That and the George Hearn/Angela Lansbury Sweeney Todd recording are the two most played discs in my home. I’ll have them going on the TV any time I’m cleaning or cooking or doing pretty much anything.
I need more stars. I do not have enough stars for this comment.
YEESSSSSS. People expect abusers to seem rough and abusive all the time, but if they were, how would they ever catch their prey? That description is *perfect* for my future ex....self-deprecating especially, to a huge degree. It puts people off their guard and on his side, and it trained me to blame all of his issues…
We’ve already seen in other photos that her hair easily covers that spot if she wants it to. Depp had already left the apartment, she was out of immediate danger, and she probably just let her hair fall over any redness on her face and didn’t let them far enough in to see what had happened. Abused women continue to…
Smashy tantrums during an argument with a partner are abuse. I have just learned this lesson the hard way, and I spread the word so that more people will recognize and escape before the violence escalates.
YES. Abusers often fully believe they’re the one being abused, and are more than happy to convince all their friends of it. And abusers are so damned convincing...if they weren’t good at that, they’d never be able to trap us in the first place.
Yes. There’s always a chance she could be lying, but I read the entire court document and everything in it just felt so familiar. And the next door neighbor who came over during the incident also swore out a statement for the court saying the same things. And her bruise...it’s clearly got a straight line along the…
Not to mention, a partner who submits to her abuser’s control almost never sees his rage incidents, because he doesn’t have to resort to rage to control her.
Heard wasn’t there for that. This was Depp, at Stanhope’s place, laying out his story for him before he ever went to Heard’s apartment.
Smashing things while arguing with your partner actually is abuse. If we made that clear to people earlier, fewer people would stick around in these relationships until it escalated to violence to their bodies.
Wait, wait...TMZ says “Sources connected to the case”....like who? Depp’s publicity team? The security officers are probably under contract to not speak about what happens in front of them, so who did this come from?
Stanhope said Depp visited him before he went over to Heard’s apartment. He wasn’t there during the incident. And if Paradis and the first wife both allowed him to control them, then he would not have had to resort to rage to do so. His trigger is apparently jealousy, so if those two just avoided other men they…
Thank you. <3 I’m so glad you got away. I moved out a year ago now, but there are a lot of things about this type of person that make the divorce process stretch on forever.
I’m sorry you went through that, and I’m glad you got out. One thing I’ve learned in all of this, not only are abusers great at keeping up appearances outside the home, but they often believe that they’re the one being abused. There’s a great article I found, when I was struggling to understand what I was going…
Thank you so much, and I’m sorry you went through it too. <3 That’s the thing though, abusers think and act so much alike in this respect that for those of us who’ve lived through it, we can read someone’s account and know instantly that it’s real, because we’ve seen it for ourselves.
I am so, so sorry. I hope you never have to see any of them again.
Thank you. <3 I just hope the new girlfriend gets out earlier than I did.
People would say those same things about my soon-to-be-ex, too. Thankfully mine hadn’t gotten this far, but the image these guys present outside the home makes people not want to believe their partners.
Yep, there’s so much wrong with the constructs, but you want to support the individuals who are making the best choices for themselves within it.
