I have to add that this isn’t just a social justice thing, it’s a really common tactic among abusers regardless of political alignment

Abusers who will say you are HURTING them TERRIBLY by doing things like… choosing to work, or go to school, instead of spending all your time at home attending to them

Abusers who say that you’re being monstrously cruel and selfish because you choose to maintain relationships with family and friends in spite of your abuser’s feelings of jealousy and abandonment

And yeah, abusers who try to shape your thoughts and feelings and preferences, and who complain that you’re being incredibly insensitive to them by insisting on thinking for yourself

This is closely related to something I’m going to write about soon.
