Bad habits are hard to break.
Let's also be real here... I've been poor. I've been in abusive relationships. I would rather be rich. I would rather be rich and in an abusive relationship than poor.
If you don't understand, then you've never really been poor. You've never sat there and watched your cancer get bigger day after day because you can't afford to treat it. You've never eaten mustard packets because they're all you can get. You've never set silently in the dark because the power was cut off and been grateful you can take a cold shower in the morning because the water hasn't been cut off yet.
Getting hit really isn't all that bad.
