to be ANGRY (A rant about "Shirley Valentine")

I've been reading a lot of Emotional Abuse threads lately, and a couple of things have stuck in my mind. One replier is pondering why an OP has been complaining about [D]H for six years now but still not left/done anything. But it was most perfectly worded by another OP:

The thing is, I think I've just hit the point where I've been hurt so much by him and for so long, on and off, and I don't know if I have just reached my limit.

And then, this morning, I read: Her Limit

I'm sorry, but I am so angry at everybody in this! Definitely the twunt boyfriend and the rapists, but also - YES! - the victim, her family&friends, the f&ing Metro for minimising the issue with their mentions of "flitting" and "rogueish" (yes, even if they were paraphrasing the aforementioned alleged-friends), half the article being about Shirley Valentine, the authorities in Turkey, f&ing society, every-fricking-body (apart from you, my fellow MNetters).

And I do get (esp of the victim) that there may be many reasons to not just LTB - I get a lot of things on a logical level, but it doesn't stop me being SO ANGRY.

Am I the only one? Please tell me I'm not the only one!...

You should never blame the victim.

And the Daily f*&^ing Mail! I couldn't even bring myself to link their article, but the headline mentions she's blonde. Like her hair colour was anything to do with anything! Way to go objectifying.

Shows you how angry I am - I'm even angry at myself for being even vaguely surprised at the Daily Mail for this sort of crap.
