Also yelling at someone who is the only person who can solve your problem is not a good negotiating strategy, especially when it reminds them of why they left.

Walking away from a toxic situation is not "psychopathic." It's common sense and if we all did it more then the psychopaths who expect us to stick around through it all would finally learn how to treat other people with respect. It's a job, not a marriage.
