YES!!!!! And it doesn't have to be coaches, it could be friends, employers, therapists, but when you see someone who you would normally trust doing these things, did you think, "There MUST be another explanation?" Or maybe, "If I just stick it out a little while longer, then the whole point of it will all become clear to me. So-and-so is a good person, so it will all come out in the wash."
I know that I DID. By the time I figured out that MY ASSUMPTIONS were wrong; they had already gone so far and done SO much damage that really the only solution was to look for ways to get them shut down. They had committed crimes, and I had stood there thinking, "They aren't REALLY committing this crime against me, because it makes no sense that they would."
