Regret is a feeling. If you feel regret, and you probably will sometimes, you have no real control over that. You can repress a feeling but you cannot change it. It is always ok to feel whatever you really feel, even when it would be a bad idea to act on the feeling. We often tend to idealize the past, feel nostalgic, forget the abuser's bad traits and offending conduct and remember the "good old times".
Jonas begins to regret his decision to leave the Community because he misses his family, friends, and the sense of security that came with his old way of life. He also starts to realize the weight of the responsibility he has taken on by accepting the memories and knowledge from the Giver. In addition, he feels overwhelmed by the challenges and dangers he faces in the outside world.
Who cares. They sure don't.
The victim has no power or they would not be abused. The abuser always has the control. Children and the elderly are victimized often in society as well as men and women. The abuser will start out by abusing psychologically and 'put down' their victim until they leave their victim confused with no self confidence. The abuser may threaten to leave their victim (this is terrifying to the elderly); leave the wife and take the children; talk of killing the victim or anyone that is close to them. The abuser often isolates their victim so their victim has no family or friends to turn too and they have to suffer in silence and depend on their abuser.

Not likely. Generally the MO is they do everything but leave & the abused must be the one who escapes.
Call the cops and tell them to come and get him/her. Tell them what they are doing to you.
It is never wrong to abandon an abuser - especially if you find that you can forgive him no longer. It is not wrong to leave an abuser, his statements that he will change, even if he feels he is sincere, most likely are not. chances are any changes he would make would be temporary and it will not ever be like the early days again. you have changed and matured that is why you cannot forgive him. you know you deserve better! Don't ever regret leaving your abuser. How many times before did he say he would "change?" How often have you heard those words. Has he come through yet? It will never be like the early days, because those were days when he put the charm on to lure you in.
the victim or the abuser? emotional abuse cuts deeper than physical abuse. it has to do with manipulation. though emotional abuse and physical abuse ususally go hand in hand.
Yes its very legal some of my friends and there mums have ran away
Yes, absolutely. You've got to remember that an abusive cycle is exactly that - a cycle, and the 'going ok' phase will not last. Be safe. Leave while you can. Definitely. It's okay to leave anytime you wish. That's your right. Don't feel bad about it or feel like you have to even tell the abuser of your decision. Do what is best for you - leave and the sooner the better. Yes, and it's probably better for you than leaving during a fighting stage. If you try to leave while in a fight with your abuser, they will probably manipulate you into staying. However, if you blindside them while things are going well, they wont have the time to manipulate you, ESPECIALLY if you cut off contact. Always have a plan when you leave, that way very little can go wrong.
sometimes they leave you money, and sometimes just good wishes.
Sometimes you have an umbrella. Sometimes you leave it at home.
