there’s no action on your part that forces someone to treat you as subhuman. doing something, or not doing something doesn’t make a normal person mistreat or abuse you. it is always the other persons decision to abuse you, not yours.
abuse can warp our brains and make us think things like ‘well i didn’t so the dishes, how else is someone supposed to react?’, and the answer is not like that. normal people don’t react that way and abuse others. normal people don’t look at something someone did that they didn’t like and go ‘I’m going to make the conscious decision to make this person experience emotional or physical distress. They have displeased me so I will make their life hell.“
abuse isn’t your fault. abuse isn’t something you can make someone do to you.
