I think that sadly society just does not care about personality disorders or abuse.
Education on these issues is very useful for the victims so they can understand what happened to them. But sadly outside the victims nobody else cares about these issues. Society is indifferent to personality disorders and abuse and no amount of education will change that.
Same in the court system. Courts do not care about personality disorders or abuse unless it is criminal physical abuse.
I think as victims we all hope that if we can explain personality disorders and abuse to others in society it will make a difference. But society just does not care. People will just think you went through a bad breakup and need some time to heal and move on. Only other victims appreciate the education because it helps us understand what we went through. But it has no importance or relevance to the rest of society unfortunately.

I am sorry to read that you feel this way at this moment. I am going to challenge your generalizations here though that society in general does not care. Societies are made up of individuals with their own unique beliefs, experiences, motivations, concerns, and cares. While there may be prevailing general themes (ie, eating your offspring is wrong), that is not to say that there is a blanket specific group-think among all persons.
My guess is that the grievance here is your perception that, in general, the people you are upset about do not think the way that you specifically do. But consider for a moment, how could they? Even another abuse victim will not view the subject exactly as you do. Every individuals perceptions, beliefs, values, understandings are wholly unique to their experiences, pasts, interactions, educations, personalities, etc. Dismissing all because they can not comprehend the matter exactly as you do will not benefit you, them, or society. In fact, even your understanding has changed over time as shown in posts and bo doubt you’ve had many experiences shape your perception since your first post here.
I truly am empathetic that you are hurting and see this as a “me vs them” or “educated victims vs everyone else.” However, it is not an all or nothing matter. It’s okay if someone does not see the issue exactly as you do. Expanding knowledge about abuse, the results on victims, methods of control that are failing, etc., are still in the interest of many though it may bot align exactly with your beliefs. Educating and persuading are still possible by addressing it through different focuses, cost/benefits, value systems, etc. Indeed, if you look I trust you will find study, training, controls/responses, etc., in the subject are rapidly increasing. Perhaps not to the immediate relief we victims want, but progress nonetheless and we have an opportunity to contribute to that progress by participating. I try to educate, participate in studies, have done talks through our DV shelter directed towards incoming law enforcement cadets, etc. I’ve still come to realize that no one can possibly understand abuse the way that I do and I never will be truly understood. But, truthfully, that is true about every perception I have, even the thoughts that enter ny head at the word, “apple.” But, just because another person does bot conceptualize it exactly as I do, does not mean that they can not comprehend an apple. Please reconsider your view. You can help shape the understanding of others, even if they can not view it as you do.
