"Every incident chips away at your limit. Every time you 
 choose to stay, it makes the next time that much harder to leave. Eventually, you lose sight of your limit 
 altogether, because you start to think, 'I've lasted five years now. What's five more?' " 
 "Don't be like me, Lily. I know that you believe he 
 loves you, and I'm sure he does. But he's not loving you the right way. He doesn't love you the way you 
 deserve to be loved." 
 This book gave me an other perspective to the life of abused women. 
 Yes, I knew that it isn't easy to just give someone up you love but I blamed and I felt anger toward every woman who had a child grow up in a abusive household. It is one thing to stand by the person who abuse you meantaly or physically, but to put your child through all that shit too is unacceptable! 
 For me that thought hasn't changed but because I never was thrown in a situation like this, I didn't even try to think why these people returned to the people who misstreated them, this changed with this book. 
 I loved Ryle from the beginning of the book and even the first time he had pushed her, I didn't really blame him. He panicked and she was just in the way. No biggie. 
 The second time he pushed her and she fell down the stairs, I blamed him but I would forgive him too if I were her, I mean he just didn't see infront of him because of his anger. I understand. 
 By the last time I was suprised with myself. I was reacting to the first two times like he did something insignificant when in reality he did something horrible. 
 I realized that I would be like the people I judge. I would return to him too even tho he would had hurt me two times because all the other times he was amazing and he loved Lily so much and doesn't every human have a flaw? 
 No, infact this isn't a flaw, it's so much more! 
 Like I wrote in my review for Too Late ... 
 Please, please, no matter what gender you are, no matter how much in love you are, no matter your finances, no matter your history, no matter ANYTHING... PLEASE DON'T STAY IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP! With your partner or even your parents or family member. 
 DON'T LET PEOPLE TREAT YOU BADLY! 
 YOU DESERVE TO BE TREATED WITH LOVE AND RESPECT EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL OR BELIVE IT! 
 Even if you've been told otherwise. Don't let people tell you you're worth what you given because you DON'T. 
 Cycles exist because they are excruciating to break. It takes an astronomical amount of pain and 
 courage to disrupt a familiar pattern. Sometimes it seems easier to just keep running in the same familiar 
 circles, rather than facing the fear of jumping and possibly not landing on your feet.
