There are definite times when exiting an emotionally abusive relationship is the only option to save your sanity and health. But what about the cases in relationships that seem to have a lot of other benefits? While I would never tell any woman to stay in a harmful relationship, however there is risks to leaving prematurley, especially without doing the inner work to get to conviction, and developing a solid exit plan. 

If you are being physically harmed, or there are signs of escalation that could point toward physical harm, please seek urgent intervention, and gather your personal and professional support team in your area.
