How many of you know the hand signal that's given by a person in distress?

21. Well, I don't know. But obviously THIS time, the subtle approach was brilliant!

The guy evidently dismissed the whole thing as just MY girl must have seen a pal. Maybe, as a suspected abuser, he just didn’t think much about it, or maybe even shrugged it off. If he’s an abuser, perhaps he has limited thinking - like an old-style caveman who only understands his big intimidating domination behavior.

And it happened so fast that there wasn’t much time to react. Before he could respond, the two women were putting some distance between themselves and him. Maybe he thought he’d “deal with this later”. But maybe (hopefully) enough later that his victim had a chance to get even farther away from him and his attempted dominance, and unlock whatever hold he might have had on her.

I’m no professional analyst or anything, but I do understand some psychology and “subliminal messaging”. Slick work on behalf of the rescuer, I must say! Brilliant! There are rescuers among us, and that renews my faith.
