People can get accustomed to their environment, even actively harmful environments. Choosing to stay where you are is an exertion of control for people who currently (and often for most of their lives) have very little control over their lives.

You can see it in everybody, just not to such a self-damaging extent. I can’t blame anyone stuck in it, the same way I don’t blame people who stay in abusive homes.

As someone who was homeless before, I really appreciate what you’ve done to help.
