I find it sad that some people are blaming Cassie for staying. There is a general lack of understanding regarding abusive relationships. Even independent women and men cam find themselves staying in situations that are mentally or physically harmful because of the gradual normalization of the behavior. If anything, I pray this situation results in a more nuanced conversation surrounding domestic abuse, manipulation, and the insidious nature of power.
