Jesus Christ, I am sick and tired of emotionally abusive people. I am sick and tired of members of my family and loved ones being emotionally abused. I am sick and tired of seeing members of my family be emotionally abusive while putting other emotionally abusive people on a pedestal. I don't give a shit if it's unintentional. Abuse is abuse.
