be terrified, but open your arms

i’m not a perfect person(in saying this i exhibit humility, making me the ultimate perfect person)

when i dont reply to a message itsbecause i love you

people talk about abuse like it's pathologically aberrant behavior but it's more like the logical conclusion of a variety of structural and interpersonal factors, particularly the nuclear family model, which depends on gender ideology as well as the codification of children as property. but it's much easier in many ways to perpetuate the idea that some people are "just evil" (/diagnosable) than to acknowledge how the behaviors we call abuse are not only culturally excused but actually encouraged and enforced. of course, that would implicate virtually all adults in a complex and nuanced way instead of demarcating a specific group of Bad Men To Be Punished, so.
