핵심 내용
When the Person You Loved Became Your Greatest Fear
She calls the police for the third time this month. Her partner has smashed another phone, blocked the door again, screamed threats that made the walls shake. The operator asks the question that will haunt her for years: "Why don't you just leave?" As if it were that simple. As if love, fear, hope, and terror didn't coexist in the same racing heartbeat. Every nine seconds in America, someone experiences this impossible moment-trapped between the person they love and the person who hurts them. What most people don't understand is that leaving an abuser isn't the end of the nightmare. It's often just the beginning of a different kind of survival. Recognizing abuse while you're living through it feels like trying to see clearly underwater. Everything appears distorted, and you're not even sure which way is up anymore. Abuse rarely announces itself with a dramatic first punch. Instead, it creeps in gradually, disguised as concern, devotion, even love. The cycle operates like a psychological trap with a door that locks behind you before you realize you've entered. First comes the honeymoon phase-flowers, apologies, promises, the person you fell in love with. Then tension builds over something small: you came home late, spoke to a coworker, wore the "wrong" outfit. You learn to give in, to smooth things over, anything to avoid the inevitable explosion. But the explosion comes anyway-yelling, violence, destruction, terror. Afterward, more apologies, more promises, more honeymoons. Round and round, faster and faster, until you can't remember what normal feels like. The real question isn't why you stayed-it's how you'll reclaim the life that was systematically stolen from you, piece by piece, day by day.
