    I understand the anger toward her but part of the cycle of domestic violence is that the guy makes the girl feel like it’s her fault AND SHE BUYS INTO IT. I feel sorry for Rihanna and I think she’s going to be locked into a come here/go away relationship with a violent guy for a while. “WE” can’t help her, but we can help the millions of women who are witnessing this to make sure THEY realize that getting beat up by your boyfriend and going back to him is NOT OKAY.
