Abuse and exposure vs enablers

I need everyone to speak up !

“I am keen to start a bit of a campaign actually ... this goes out to everyone who has been in an abusive situation and had so called ...'friends' behave like non believers or 'fence dwellers or indeed enablers to the situation.
When people you trust take the side of the person who abused you.
When people you put your faith in ..let you down, listened to gossip about the situation and even took sides against you.
When people saw your pain and hurt and remained ' impartial ' and offered no hand of kindness or support or just even a kind word or hug.
It's those people that are ENABLERS to abuse and pain.
It's those very sorts of people that turn a blind eye to children being abused in the neighbourhood. Or seeing a woman in a domestic violent situation and say nothing to help her.
It's these sorts of people who allow their new bf to beat their child or listen to an abuser trying to discredit the woman who's just left him.
It's these sorts of people that listen to the abuser trying to verify and justify his abuse towards another.
The sorts of people that listen to an abusive narcissistic father , bad mouthing his own adult daughter and no one questions it.
Or the mother that asks her daughter to drop the charges on her violent ex boyfriend.

The enablers ! They are a massive and demonic problem a big big problem in society.

I want anyone who has been effected by this kind of situation to copy and paste this post and write :

Vague booking at its finest.

I do n’t think you can expect your friends to rescue you. If they have n’t seen the abuse it’s fair they do nt take sides.

I know MN loves a bit of anaphora but it really doesn't have the impact you think it does.

I'm new here so go easy on me ..I'm a mn newbie. This is a campaign of awareness and it's originated in a very personal cause.
Taking sides is essential ...after all women and children don't tend to violently bash themselves...do they ?

This isn't about the not knowing ..it's about those who know or suspect and do nothing but sit on the fence and claim innocently they didn't want to get involved. Didn't want ! But should have !
This is exactly the kind of attitude I'm tackling ... the guilty that pretend their ' not involved '

Standing up for what is right isn't easy ...but it is the right thing to do.

Even in the most complicated of circumstances ... the right thing to do is still the right thing to do.

We've all known someone who turned a blind eye to abuse.
