Dilemma!

"Mom, enough. You'll not be here for even a moment now. Let's go from here, I'll take you to my home. We'll live together peacefully, at least you will not have to be a victim of this anymore." - Said Shrija. Domestic violence? How could it be that? After all, Shrija's father was the best Dad in the world. He's taken care of her so we'll. But hadn't it been completely different if he'd have offered even a part of this care to her Mother? Why is he so indifferent to her? And why is she tolerating him for years, when she had an option to leave. Addiction: defined as "The fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity" Nobody has ever told how bad addiction of companionship of someone could be. You cannot leave the cause of pain because you're addicted to it and you no more take it as pain. We cling on to people in our lives without realizing how liberating it could be if we leave them but alas! We're addicted and the fear of being alone overpowers everything else.
