Dear Lestat, how do you deal with a abusive relationship when you love the other person so much?

//ooc; it’s inappropriate to respond to this as a fictional character. 

Anon, I don’t know where you live, but google for help hotlines. Here’s one:

National Domestic Violence Hotline: http://www.thehotline.org/help/

Our advocates are available 24/7 at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) in over 170 languages. All calls are confidential and anonymous.

^That website has a lot of info about abusive relationships, please check it out. 

Also, the blog @advicefromsurvivors might have good advice for you, even though that blog is specific to advice from child abuse survivors.


As far as Lestat, he’s a survivor of child abuse, and he’s also suffered short-term abuse (forced into the dark gift), but he has been the abuser himself in more than one relationship. I don’t think he’s a very good person to ask for advice on this. 

To everyone else: for future reference, if you are sending an ask to one of my RP muses and don’t want me to freak out and think that you are actually having a real problem in real life, please include “(this is fictional)” before the message. Even then, it may not be appropriate for a fictional character to answer.
