When it is about self-care and protection from abuse, I believe it is important to take a stand - however 'disruptive' it might be/seem to other people. Getting out of abuse trumps it all.

There is no 'right' timing anyway - as in planning when would be the least 'inconvenient' time to make ruffles. When it is a question of abuse, it is a question of 'leave now'.

This is a decision that each one has to make for themselves. Others can't hold you back. It is important to take back one's power and say: enough is enough, I am leaving, period. This is on us and *our* decision and responsibility (unless a child is concerned, then the onus is on the parent), not anyone else's.
