A lot of people post poor relationships in these places. I am not sure if all of them are real, but the real ones are certainly looking for help and not able to speak to the people around them for whatever reason. In the end we don’t owe anyone a relationship, even a familial one. “Give them a chance, they just made a mistake don’t throw your whole relationship away over (infidelity, abuse, etc), but they’re family” are pretty common and annoying because they make people stay in situations where they are clearly unhappy and are potentially being harmed. If people want to leave, there is no shame in that. It’s annoying on the internet because there is certainly a large amount of bot posts mixed in with real people who need help. Or people who describe horrible abuse and then defend their abusers…feels like rage bait.
