It's bad for a little while, when you have to put your money where your mouth is, get your affairs in order and leave.

Then life starts to get better, and you start feeling this pride in your chest that you stood up for yourself and didn't accept a sub-standard, abusive, chaos-filled life any more.

Then your vibe of self-respect starts to attract others who love strong people rather than enablers.

Then life gets amazing.

It all starts with deciding what you want your life to look like, and finding support and courage to make it so. That's one reason SR exists, imho.
