I work with youth and young adults to help them improve depressive symptoms and self-esteem as well as effectively address family, relationship and peer conflicts.

I think you did not walk away in an abusive relationship because maybe you were afraid to let go and you still have feelings for that person and you did not want to feel alone. Sometimes people just don't know how to get out of an unhealthy relationship and are in denial or doubting about some things. People think they can still fix something that is broken.
