Sadness Is -- Sometimes People Need to Leave Bad Relationships and They Don't

It is unfortunate, that some people stay in relationships because it is not their first choice. Whether it is because of insecurity; they need a place to stay (financial reasons); they feel sorry for their partner; they don't want to look bad (be the one to break things-up); or it's for the kids (even though, the environment for the children, may not be positive.)

To have the courage and the means to leave a relationship, is essential; especially, if the other partner is controlling or abusive. 

To think that many people stay in bad relationships, because they may think that they do not have another choice is quite sad. 

We only have the lives that we choose to live. However -- Some individuals, may choose to be in better conditions than others. And they also may need to find their light, at the end of the tunnel.
