Abusive relationships are like the frog and boiling water story. It’s rarely immediately abusive. It’s stuff that slowly builds over time. And they socially isolate you. Cut you off from friend and family. Anyone that is still around and trying to warn you it’s abusive is an enemy and the abusive partner will tell you anything to convince you of that.
It’s why there’s so many battered women’s shelters and “Underground Railroad” type groups. By the time the women realize it’s abusive, they have no one around to help them.
Heather is fortunate in that she’s physically stronger than Zach and is the only one with assets. She’s unlucky in that if she tries to leave the relationship, Zach will try to get her kids taken away and will accuse her of everything he can think of on social media to try to ruin her life. Though, Heather is probably dumb enough that Zach is entangled in her finances.
