A great short article on the signs of trauma bond/abuse

Saw this - I'm glad people are talking about this stuff. It's so important.
In the culture of my parents, it was normal to stay with someone who's treating you like complete shit. For the kids who are growing up today, learning about this stuff in schools makes me hopeful about the future. Of course, not everyone will act appropriately. But the fact that we are even talking about stuff to do with relationships is so, so good.
