To be honest, most of what holds me back is the fact that I do have family and friends close to me and I know full well that having the wrong enemies can turn everyone in your life in to targets. Were I just alone in the world, I would likely be dancing to a very different tune.
That being said, I don't think your abusers made you sign a 10 page waiver before doing so, I imagine? Such a thing is obviously for the protection of sadists who desire no consequences for their actions.

Ugh.

You should try it.
I feel like my "abusers" are just very poor judges of strength, character, capability. They assumed there would be no consequences.
There is such a thing as tact. You may view that in whatever way you wish. It does not matter to me what you think of me.
I chose not to see that path to its end. I chose people over being alone. I don't expect you to understand a choice like that but it is the choice I made.
There are always consequences, it's just a matter of how long it takes to catch up usually. Every generation comes to an end eventually. Some sooner than later.
