Milah was clearly an abuser in their relationship, and there are enough arguments to make such a huuuuge post to show it.

Only if you ignore the fact that Rumple kept her in a toxic situation that was damaging to her mental health Rumple kept her? No, I'm sorry, but no. He did NOT kept her in a toxic situation.

First of all, SHE created this toxic situation by immediatly abusing Rumple as soon as he came back. She did not try to understand him, & she did not give him a single chance. She immediatly told him that he should have died.

And, come on, Rumple "kept her"? She could have left, like immediatly. She could have taken Bae, and leave immediatly. Not like Rumple was a problem to anyone. He was psychologically (and so, physically, I'm pretty sure) weaker than her. She would had zero problem to just leave. So no.

"Damaging to her mental health"? Please, she never showed any sign of damaged mental health x) Being unhappy in her life is not a sign of damaged mental health x) And, she had zero problem abusing Rumple right from the beginning, abandoning Bae at multiple times, or going have some fun with Hook and the pirates x)

Amazing how Milah gets shamed for not leaving, then gets shamed for leaving. She cannot win.​​​​​​ Where was she going to go? How would she get the money for food, travelling, where would she get a new home? If she had, I am sure you would have dragged her through the mud for that.

Milah did not make her family outcasts. Rumple did that and then refused to accept responsibility for the consequences on his family.

I think if someone says their life isn't really a life, there is a problem with their mental health. ​​​​​​
