What does "fiercely loyal" mean?

It doesn't matter how loyal you are. Loyalty is the Achilles heel for an abuser. It is the very attribute that guarantees your abuser that you will always be available to take on the task of all his anger and pain It is the very attribute that will lead you to abandoning the most important person in your life.

For some, believing that loyalty is an admirable attribute is a realistic quality to aspire. However, loyalty has a price and in the instance of dealing with an abuser, no doubt you will become the perfect subject to victimize. Unfortunately, a "fiercely loyal" partner is a codependent one. To aspire with conviction such dedication towards loyalty so "fiercely," suggests that such determination will never be swayed. Yet, when all is in order, there is also another side to this "black and white" thinking. At what price will you pay to remain in your stance and be "fiercely loyal" to someone that does not have the capacity to honor you at all? No doubt, the abuser will specifically seek you out, because you are the one that has the "fierce" determination to to aspire to loyalty, as the belief is that it comes with dignity and honor, only to be masked by his continual degradation. Sadly, all the "fierce" determination in the world will not help you keep your dignity and honor. The fact that you've consented to embark on his journey is the sign that you've been successfully entwined and groomed into believing in the dream he's already created for you, as he consents to everything you desire. In time, you will continue to be sadly disappointed, but your "fierceness" will prevail to keep you loyal at all costs. How long will your "fierceness" endure the heartache? How long will your "fierceness" endure the pain? How long will you be "fierce" and hold on to all the blame? No matter what you do, he is an abuser and you, with your loyalty, and all your "fierceness" cannot fix him. That passion, that determination, that striving for allegiance is better spent on oneself because all the while you have committed yourself to being "fiercely loyal" you've abandoned the most important person in your relationship.... YOU.

"Fiercely loyal" is detachment from oneself and codependent, the perfect fitting glove for the person who has promised to love you, your abuser. So, when you think about how loyal and dedicated you are, with all your "fierceness" and conviction; remember, the price of your "fiercely loyal" attributes will be the price of your pain.
