Sarah McDugal | Wilderness to WILD | When Your Friends Stay Friends With Your Abuser @SarahMcDugal | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Four action steps to take when people you thought were trusted friends (or relatives) decide to “stay neutral” or “stay friends” with your abuser:

1. Weigh the risks involved (for you AND your kids)
2. Focus on safety (physical, informational, emotional)
3. Take action to do what’s best for safety
1. Limit information
2. Confront (only if it’s safe to do so)
3. Distance, block, and ban, baby!
4. Stay poised + classy. Going public about blocking them just makes you look vengeful, bitter, and unhealthy.
