Wide Eyed Innocence and Locked Up




This is called "Wide Eyed Innocence" is portraying the stage of the cycle where a relationship gets physically abusive and scary. It's unexpected and the victim almost makes herself believe it's not really happening. The abuser makes the victim think there's nothing she can say or do save herself.

The one on the right, "Locked up" is the first stage of the series where there is blind love that a victim ties herself to, locks it up, and he steals the key. It's the point where she stays out of not only confused "love" but fear. It's about feeling too broken to leave the abusive relationship because there would be no where to run to.
